Nice ready-to-display piece featuring a clean autograph from Pete Ward (1937–2022), the Canadian-born third baseman/outfielder who starred for the Chicago White Sox in the 1960s.

Player highlights:

• 1963 American League Rookie of the Year runner-up (and The Sporting News AL Rookie of the Year)

• Hit .295 with 22 home runs and 84 RBI as a rookie in 1963

• Followed it up with 23 home runs and 94 RBI in 1964, finishing 6th in AL MVP voting

• Spent seven seasons with the White Sox (1963–1969) after a brief stint with the Baltimore Orioles, and finished his career with the New York Yankees in 1970

• Career totals: .254 average, 98 home runs, 427 RBI in 973 games

• Member of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame

What’s included:

• Baseball signed in blue ink “Pete Ward” (clear, bold signature). The ball has the common “CHINA” stamp found on many display/souvenir baseballs.

• Matching vintage Pete Ward Chicago White Sox baseball card (Topps, showing him batting in the classic White Sox uniform with the circular “PETE WARD 3B-OF” banner). The card is also signed and shows typical age-related wear but displays well.

• Clear acrylic protective display case that holds both the signed ball and the card side-by-side (standard screw-together case).

A solid piece for White Sox collectors, 1960s baseball fans, or anyone who likes Canadian MLB players and strong early-career power hitters. No COA or third-party authentication is included — the item is sold exactly as shown in the photos. The signature appears consistent with known examples of Ward’s autograph, but authenticity is not professionally guaranteed.
