Dale Long -(D. 1991) was a first baseman in professional baseball. Between 1951 and 1963, Long played with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1951, 1955-1957), St. Louis Browns (1951), Chicago Cubs (1957-1959), San Francisco Giants (1960), New York Yankees (1960, 1962-1963) and Washington Senators (1961-1962). In 1956, Long posted career highs in home runs (27) and RBI (91) and made the National League All-Star team, but he was sure to put his name in the record books for hitting eight home runs in eight consecutive games between May 19 and May 28. Since then, the mark has been matched only by Don Mattingly (1987) and Ken Griffey, Jr. (1993), both in the American League, both also left-handed hitters.
Offered is this bold blue ink signature on this uniformly sepia toned OAL (Bobby Brown - Haiti). Nice looking ball!
