What is the value of a baseball signed by Ted Williams Joe Cronin and the 1958 Red Sox?
A 1958 Boston Red Sox team signed baseball with the key signatures: Runnells, and Williams is worth about $300. -$500.
Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable.
In 1958 Joe Cronin was not a player but the general manager of the Red Sox, and became the American League President the following year. His signature added to the ball could add about $100. to the baseball. His signature on a baseball alone would be worth more.
If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. For more information on team signed baseballs, links to full team rosters, key signatures, and price guide See Rleated Links below.

Back when there were two competing leagues Chicago had a team in each league. When the American and National leagues merged to create Major League Baseball, Chicago kept both teams.

The White Sox are in the American League, and the Cubs are in the National league.
