2024 National Pickup - Albert Belle Signed Baseball

As Michael and I were walking around the National, he spotted this Albert Belle signed baseball.  The vendor had a deal where if I paired this ball with another signed ball (to be shown later), I could get both for $100.  I took that deal, as I couldn't remember the last time I had seen a Belle ball.

Belle (b. 1966) celebrated his 58th birthday today (August 25).  He played in the majors from 1989 to 2000 for the Indians, White Sox and Orioles. He had 1,726 hits, 381 home runs and a .295 batting average.  He was a 5-time All Star and 5-time Silver Slugger Award winner. 

Thanks for seeing this ball and pointing it out to me, Michael.
