I want to buy a special gift for my bf, and I know he loves Joe Morgan. I found two different signed ball on line, and I have no idea which one is better; the HOF 90 or 75/76 MVP ???
Please give me some info about the difference of the two, thank you guys~~!!

I don't think he will sell it. I will buy something special that not a lot of people have.

Oh, by the way, I also found a signed HOF bat. They both are about the same price.
Hum...... bat VS ball.......???

I just found out all the pictures posted on the online bidding site are all the same. I thought it is a signed ball, shouldn't it be personally signed and will all look a little different since it cost $120??

You have a lot of collectors of HOF memorabilia and although the two balls would be valued about the same it should be easier to sell a HOF ball with a Morgan signature should he ever want to do so..

I completely agree with Joe West's sentiments but strongly disagree with how he expressed them. As a fan, I get as frustrated watching it as West does umpiring it. The games ARE too long. I've been watching baseball for forty years, and only recently have these marathon games started to occur frequently. And it's almost always the same two teams. If it was just once in a while, fine. The players are endlessly calling time, visiting the mound, stepping out of the box, stepping off the rubber and many of the pitchers on both teams work at a snail's pace. As much as I love the rivalry, I never watch Yankees - Red Sox games live, only on PVR so I can fast forward through all the BS they engage in. It's time MLB stepped up and in no uncertain terms told them "enough" and passes some rules limiting the amount of crap that goes - no stepping out of the box, no stepping off the rubber (a strike or ball will be the penalty depending on who did it); a limit on the number of mound visits, and batters and catchers cannot call time once the pitcher is on the rubber and the hitter is in the batter's box. Four hours for a nine inning game is absurd. If they keep that up, people are going to start saying X is right.

The 75/76 Ball.. Joe was a member of the most dominant team in many years then... The Big Red machine; as they were known.. had many stars, and Joe Morgan was about as good a second baseman there was in the league then.. Plus, they won the World Series both those years..I'd go with the 75/76 deal!

The 75/76 ball will probably be worth more eventually. I think that once he was inducted into the HOF, he has signed most balls with the HOF90. Therefore there will be more of them.

I imagine that they are probably worth the same amount. Players tend to sign balls with certain accomplishments. I had the option of having Fergie Jenkins sign a ball with his HOF (Hall of Fame) year on it or his strike out total.

Check with the experts the Miller Boys. They deal in all kinds of autographed sports memorabilia and can give you a rough idea what each is worth.

I would buy him the 1975/1976 MVP autographed baseball. He actually was playing in 1975-1976 and his signature was more valuable. Not that I want your boyfriend to sell it, it's just more fun to have.
