1978 RAWLINGS ORIGINAL OFFICIAL WORLD SERIES BASEBALL DOZEN
New in manufacturer’s cardboard shipper, w/ custom plastic display stand.
In recognition of the 75th playing of the World Series, Major League Baseball commissioned the Rawlings Company to create for the first time a special commemorative baseball to be used in World Series play.
(
Yankees came back from 2-0 deficit
to defeat Dodgers in six games, the
first team in Series history to win four straight
after dropping first two games.)
Original made-in-Haiti commemorative baseball
is identical to those used during actual
World Series
games.
As is characteristic with baseballs produced in Haiti during this time period, there is medium toning/staining of the leather.
Note:
Original 1978 World Series commemorative baseballs have “Haiti” stamped on the sweet spot.
Balls without this mark
–or manufactured in another country–
are reproductions.
and do not include plastic display.
Always happy to combine shipnd ping on multiple orders!
