Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!
Great topic. Here is my favorite. I am 90% sure the player on the top is Little Poison Waner. I have never seen another like it. I found it four years ago at an antique show.Attached FilesMike H -

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!
I like this ball because of the names of the teams written on it. D&M game used trophy baseball.
Dated July 1921 from "Alva Orphans" (Northwest Oklahoma League) vs. "Sweetwater Swatters" (West Texas League).

Nice ball Brett. Do you happen to know when it was manufactured?Comment

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!
i'm not positive but i'd guess late 20's/early 30's - that was the same era as the glove that i got with it. the lady also had the uniform of the player who used the mitt and ball but i had already spent my money (only 20 bucks for the ball which I think was a great deal).Comment

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!
$20 is a steal for any multicolor stitched ball...especially one in as good as condition as yours plus you got the original box. I just picked up a Pioneer League ball that was also made by Worth that I think is probably 1930's. Anyone know how late multicolor stitch balls were being used in professional baseball? I know that I can definitely say that the Three I League was using a black and red stitch Goldsmith ball as late as 1938.Comment

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!
THis one is not a vintage ball but the inscription is great. Ed Hearn sent me this ball after seeing that I had more of his game used jerseys and bats in my collection than he had save in his career.

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!
Ed Hearn's brother Tom used to be my neighbor. He works for the Nebraska PGA. Super nice guy. He told me a lot of great stories about the 1986 Mets. Did you know that Ed Hearn played on a championship team at every level of baseball he played?Comment

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!
Absolutely. Ed used to caddy for Tom when he was trying to catch on the PSA tour too.

Re: Let's See Some Baseballs!
I got the ball from Sports Immortals in Boca. The photos on it are cut from some sort of actual photo, not a newspaper or magazine. I'll try to post pictures of the sides tomorrow.
