San Francisco Giants 1B Willie McCovey used a sweeping swing to belt 521 homers and collect more than 2,200 hits. "Stretch" led the National League in homers three times and in RBI twice, also pacing the circuit in slugging percentage for three consecutive years (1968-’70). McCovey earned National League MVP honors in 1969, 10 years after earning National League Rookie of the Year in 1959. Said Sparky Anderson of the six-time All Star: "If you pitch to him he'll ruin the baseball. He'd hit 80 home runs. There's no comparison between McCovey and anybody else in the League." One of five San Francisco Giants Hall of Famers (Sports Gallery has had all five for signings -Willie Mays, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda, and Gaylord Perry being the others), Willie was elected to the Pro Baseball Hall of Fame in 1986 and his #44 has been retired by the Giants. And, of course, McCovey Cove is the home of the "Splash Landing" at AT&T Park - monster home runs (like Willie hit) that clear the stands and land in San Francisco Bay. McCovey signed a select number of official MLB baseballs for Sports Gallery at Willie's recent signing at Sports Gallery. Pick from one of three inscriptions - "ROY 59," "521 HRS," and one very rare triple inscription ball - "ROY 59," "521 HRS" and "HOF 86." Only one triple inscription ball and a very limited number of the other two. Don't wait...order your piece of baseball history today!

Kevin Mitchell was a raw baseball talent capable of amazing things on the field. Raised by his grandmother, the short, squat Mitchell used baseball to escape the violent San Diego street gangs of his youth, but not before collecting three gunshot wounds as a member of the notorious Syndos. Originally drafted by the NY Mets, Mitchell played six different positions for the World Champion New York Mets as a rookie in 1986, including 24 games at shortstop, and hit .277 to finish third in the NL Rookie of the Year voting. On July 4, 1987, Kevin was traded from San Diego to San Francisco and belted a pair of homers in his Giants debut. Kevin went on to hit .306 the rest of the season as the Giants won the NL West. However, the 1989 season was the pinnacle of Mitchell's career. After two seasons playing primarily at third base, he had his best season with the Giants in 1989 upon being moved to the outfield. In that season, he batted .291 with a league-best 125 RBI and 47 home runs, leading the team to the playoffs and winning the National League's Most Valuable Player award, the first by a Giant since Willie McCovey in 1969. He added a .353 average and 2 homers in the NLCS to help the team to its first World Series appearance since 1962. Despite being an average defensive player at best, Kevin is also most known for an excellent defensive play, making a running bare-handed catch of a fly ball to deep left field in St. Louis' Busch Stadium off of Ozzie Smith. This remarkable catch is considered by many to be one of the best defensive plays in the history of the game. Winner of the 1989 Sliver Slugger and MVP Award, Kevin signed this baseball right on the sweet spot along with the inscription "NL 1989 MVP." A great collectible from a very unique player and page in Giants history. But hurry, we only have two of these balls in our stores.

Justin Ernest George Morneau (born on May 15, 1981 in New Westminster, British Columbia) plays First Base for the Minnesota Twins. He was selected by Minnesota in the 3rd round as the 89th overall pick of the 1999 MLB amateur entry draft and, after several years in the Minors, began playing regularly for the Twins in 2006. After a slow start that season, Morneau exploded offensively in the months of June, July, and August, raising his batting average nearly 50 points in June alone. He raised his average another 33 points in July and thereafter consistently appeared near the top of the American League leaderboard in batting average, home runs and RBI's. On August 9, 2006, Morneau became the first Twin since 1987 to hit 30 home runs in a single season. Morneau finished the season hitting .321, with a slugging percentage of .559, 34 home runs and 131 RBI's. He won the 2006 Silver Slugger Award for First Base. On November 21, Morneau was voted as the 2006 American League MVP, narrowly edging Derek Jeter of the Yankees. In so doing, Justin became only the fourth player in Twins history to win MVP honors and the first Canadian player to do so (Larry Walker won the NL MVP Award in 1997). A great import from North of the Border, Justin is just getting started. Get this official MLB, hand-signed by Morneau right on the sweet spot, before it goes up in value.

Former Oakland A's and current St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Mark Mulder followed up his breakthrough 21-8 season in 2001 with an equally fine 19-7 record in 2002. Just how impressive that 2002 mark is cannot be seen on the surface. Mulder spent a month on the disabled list with a sore left forearm, and he ended up making four fewer starts than he did in 2001. It mattered little to opposing hitters, however, who saw the same stellar stuff. And in 2003 and 2004, Mark was selected to the American League All-Star team, picked as the starter for the 75th All-Star game in 2004. Now throwing his stellar stuff for the St. Louis Cardinals, Mulder is a stud and together with A's hurlers Tim Hudson and Barry Zito, once was part of the best young pitching rotation in baseball. Expect his career to take off in St. Louis where more baseball fans will see just how special a pitcher Mark has become. His collectibles, including this hand-signed MLB ball, will only go up in value in the next few years.

A three-time MVP, he played in 24 All-Star Games. He was nicknamed "The Man" by Dodgers fans for the havoc he wrought at Ebbets Field, and is still renowned for his skilled harmonica playing. Musial was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.
