Hansen surpassed all expectations by turning in a solid, injury-free 1960 season, filling the Orioles urgent need for a quality shortstop. He appeared in 153 games, and finished with 22 home runs, 86 RBI, 22 doubles, five triples, a .255 batting average and a .342 on-base percentage, batting from the eight spot. He was selected for the All-Star Game and earned American League Rookie of the Year honors, getting 22 of 24 votes, as well as the TSN Rookie of the Year Award.

This official AL baseball is signed beautifully by Hansen and inscribed "Rookie of the Year 1960." There is some light toning to the baseball as seen in photos.

Also included in this lot is a ticket from a White Sox game in August of 1964 that features Hansen on the back.
