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.

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.

1951-1952 BrewersThe Milwaukee Brewers did not exist in 1951-1952. The Milwaukee Braves existed from 1953-1965.

I'm presuming this is a 1957 Milwaukee Braves team-signed ball. According to the collector's price guide, "Team Baseballs," your ball is worth between $350-450, with value being greater or lower depending on exact players present - in particular, the inclusion or exclusion of Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn and Eddie Mathews - plus the all-important overall condition of the ball and autographs. Other key factors include type of ball (is it an "Official National League" ball?), whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed for players by ballboys, attendants, etc), and total number of signatures present. These factors, plus the authenticity of the all the significant signatures are the main variables in determining value. Should also be noted this is a "World Champions" team-sgined ball from a very talented team, and one collectors are always interested in.
