"The Shot Heard Around the World” Dual-Signed Baseball Featuring Bobby Thomson & Ralph Branca (Greenshields Collection)
Official National League baseball signed by both Bobby Thomson and Ralph Branca, forever linked through one of the most iconic moments in baseball history — Thomson’s legendary 1951 pennant-winning home run known as “The Shot Heard Around the World.”
The baseball features both signatures in blue ink and commemorates one of the defining moments of postwar Major League Baseball history. The pairing of Thomson and Branca autographs on a single baseball remains especially desirable among baseball history collectors due to the enduring significance of the famous home run and its lasting place in New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers lore.
The baseball remains housed in a protective display cube accompanied by custom identification labels referencing the historic event and featured signers.
