Baseball has been hand-signed in blue ink pen by James "Cool Papa" Bell (D. 1991 HOF). Please note, display case not included.

Bell was a centerfielder in the Negro Leagues from 1922 to 1946. Bell started his career on the hill as a pitcher, but due to his speed he transitioned to the outfield. This allowed Bell to be a constant threat on the base paths. While Bell never played in the Majors many who saw him play consider him among the fasted to ever play the game. 'Cool Papa' was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Negro League Committee in 1974.
