Lefty O’Doul was a star in the MLB, the Pacific Coast League, and was known for his expedition tours to train professional baseball players in Japan. O’Doul still has the 6th highest batting average in MLB history, the highest for a non hall of famer. In 2002 he was the first American inducted to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame for his part in making baseball popular and successful in Japan. This Little League baseball has been signed and personalized by O’Doul and reads “To My Little Pal Gary”. The ball is dated July 6th 1963 and O’Doul’s autograph rates a 7 in our opinion. Accompanied by an ALOA from JSA.
