The problem with "game used" baseballs is proving that the Baseball was used during a Major league game. The baseball could have been used in a sandlot game. There is just no way of proving it. Without the proper provenance, a letter from a league, team official or a player stating so the baseball will be valued as a used vintage baseball, based on condition. A letter from a fan at the game would not hold much weight if any. A Warren Giles National League baseball (the type ball used in 1957) is worth about $200.+ in near/mint (white) condition. Your baseball would be valued from this price working down depending on the condition of the ball.

You have a Milwaukee Braves team signed baseball. With the names you listed I could only narrow it down to the years 1956, 1957, and 1958 the three years that Fred Haney managed the team and the players listed played on.A 1957 Milwaukee Braves Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Schoendienst, Aaron, Mathews, Spahn, and Burdette is worth about $1,100-$1,800 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. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less. In two recent auctions a 1957 Milwaukee Braves Team Signed Baseball sold for $1,015.75, and $1,673.00 I have viewed a Lot of baseballs, and have not found one baseball signed Henry Aaron. All the baseballs are signed Hank Aaron. If your baseball is signed Henry Aaron you might have a Milwaukee Braves souvenir baseball worth about $50.-$75. If in fact it is a hand signed baseball the Hank Aaron signature rarely signed "Henry" will add extra value.The baseball you have could also be from 1956 (worth $450-$650.) or 1958 (worth $525. -$800.) You need to determine what year the baseball is from. Visit the Team Signed Baseball Price Guide link I left below. (Related Links) The price guide features links to full team rosters to help you figure out what year the baseball is from. Searching for the players that played the least amount of time for the team will help you figure it out quicker. Once you have narrowed it down to one year the price guide also provides a list of key signatures for that year. These signatures are the most important on getting top value.
Neal Ball died October 15, 1957, in Bridgeport, CT, USA.
Hank Aaron's 715 home run ball was caught by his teammate Tom House just over the outfield fence. He returned the ball to Aaron and it is now on display in the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame in Turner Field along with the bat used to hit the ball.
It has no value, if no one wants the ball. Value is based on want and need.
