Any of you fellas know the years that the OAL balls had red and blue stitching? Wasn't it up until 1934?

Yes - in 1934 both leagues went to all Red stitching. Prior to that AL was Blue and Red and NL was Black and Red.

Here's some pics of my 1926 OAL Ball - faint partial sigs... too bad I'll never know who might be on there!
