1951 Bob Nieman Record Setting Homerun Baseball
Nieman’s name will forever have a place in the record books as the first and, until 2000, only player in the history of baseball to hit a homer in his first two professional at-bats. He accomplished that astonishing feat while at Fenway over fifty-five years ago. Offered is the actual second home run ball that he hit off of Mickey McDermott. Once part of his personal collection, this Official American League baseball was inscribed by Bob in black ballpoint, “Record Setting Ball-Home Runs First Two At Bats-This Is The Second”, on one panel, while the opposite side of the ball reads, “2nd HR-1st Game-September 14, 1951-Off Mickey McDermott.” Overall the notations grade as 7/10, only due to the fading of some of the lettering.
