Signed at 1956 Spring Training after winning the 1955 World Series the previous year. *** The Dodgers had won the 1955 World Series and they were in spring training 1956 and staying in a Hotel in Vero Beach. Clients uncle (Bill Voorhees) worked for a Long Island newspaper as a sports writer, he stops by the Flamingo Hotel where the Dodgers stayed and many members of the team signed the baseball, including Pitcher Sandy Koufax , Catcher Roy Campanella (MVP), Pitcher Don Drysdale, Outfielder Duke Snyder and approx. 21 others (25 signatures on the ball). Well, except Jackie Robinson who was not permitted to stay in the hotel, due to whites only restrictions. A very cool piece of collectable history.
