assistant: Hello Dodger Fans :)
At this point we are just curious, but if any of you have any ideas on this,
please let me know -
     We have a Dodger baseball signed by one of the teams in the early to
mid-60's.  Names I can read (due to legibility, not dirt) include Maury
ills,
Ron Fairly, Lee Abels, Joe Moeller (?), Sandy Kaufax and Wally Moon.  There
are
a lot more signatures, but my not having been 'baseball aware' in those days,
I
can't decipher them.  Any thoughts on value, and or which year that team was
together??
     Thanks,
     Becky Tucker
