Bidspirit auction | Tracy Stallard Signature with Card

Tracy Stallard Signature with Card - Tracy Stallard, the St. Louis Cardinals pitcher who famously gave up Roger Maris's 61st home run in 1961, signed this clean white index card in blue ballpoint ink. The signature is bold and legible. Offered alongside his 1965 Topps card (number 491), which shows Stallard as a pitcher with the Cardinals and includes his complete minor and major league statistics on the reverse. The card itself is in solid condition with bright color and clear photographic detail. Stallard had a 15-year professional career spanning 1955 through 1964 across multiple minor leagues and stints with the Mets, Cardinals, Red Sox, and Yankees. His place in baseball history is secure as the pitcher on the mound when Maris made his historic blast, making this pairing of signature and vintage cardboard a natural draw for both Maris collectors and general 1960s baseball card enthusiasts.
