Curt Gowdy was well known as the longtime "voice" of the Boston Red Sox, where he called Ted Williams' final at-bat when he hit a home run into the bullpen in right-center field off Jack Fisher of Baltimore, and for his coverage of many nationally televised sporting events, primarily for NBC Sports and ABC Sports in the 1960s and 1970s. Gowdy is a member of both the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame and the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.

This Rawlings official MLB baseball was signed in blue by Gowdy and includes a JSA sticker and COA.
