Near fine, with a spot of staining to rear wrapper. Overall, an excellent multi-signed copy. This scorebook is for the 1970 Oldtimers game, which featured legends like Casey Stengel, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial, Bob Feller, Enos Slaughter, and others. The three-inning contest preceded a game between the California Angels and Detroit Tigers. Casey Stengel was the legendary and charismatic manager of the New York Yankees from 1949 to 1960, managing such all-time talent as Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio and Whitey Ford. In his twelve years with the team, the Yankees dominated the league, winning seven World Series titles, including five in a row (1949 - 1953), and ten pennants. After his tenure with the Yankees ended in 1960, he managed the new expansion team the New York Mets from 1962 to 1965, whose endearing lack of success led to them being dubbed the "Lovable Losers." Prior to becoming a manager, Stengel was a solid pro player, helping the New York Giants win World Series titles in 1922 and 1923. All told, Stengel's professional baseball career spanned more than fifty years. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966. Eddie Mathews was one of the best third basemen of all time. He was a nine-time All-Star, a two-time World Series champion, and is a member of the select "500 Club" with 512 career home runs. In 1954, A photo of Mathews at the plate graced the cover of the first ever Sports Illustrated cover. He holds the unique distinction of being the only player to play for the Braves in all three of the team's home cities - Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta. The scorecard is also signed by 10x All-Star Harvey Kuenn, 4x All-Star Johnny Logan, 2x All-Star and World Series MVP (1957), and Don Larsen, who pitched the only perfect game in MLB postseason history (Game 5 of the 1956 World Series). Notably, this scorebook is also signed by Gene Autry, the founding owner of the Los Angeles Angels from the team's inception in 1961 to 1997. Autry was a pioneer in country and western music, arguably second only in historical importance to Jimmie Rogers, and was television and radio's first "Singing Cowboy." Autry is the only individual to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for all five entertainment categories (film, television, music, live performance, and radio). Some of the songs that he debuted include the Christmas classics "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Frosty the Snowman," "Here Comes Santa Claus," and "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town." While seemingly everything he touched turned to gold, his Angels were not particularly successful on the field. He's quoted as saying, "For sure, baseball has been the most exciting and frustrating experience of my lifeIn the movies, I never lost a fight. In baseball I hardly ever won one.". Signed.
