Re: What is your most historic item?
I have the last out baseball from the 1939 World Series when the Yankees defeated the Reds. The ball was caught by shortstop Frank Crosetti & he kept the ball for about 60 years before selling it. The 39 Yanks are usually ranked as the 3rd greatest baseball team ever. This was also the last game that Lou Gehrig was still officially a Yankee.

Josh Hamilton's 2010 World Series bat. I've photomatched it to game 2, inning 6. Mr. Hamilton gave this to my boys...and signed it too

Re: What is your most historic item?
This is one of my favorite 'historical' pieces... I have no 'positive' proof that it is what I believe it to be, but pretty strong indications.
It is a 1933 NY Giants Team signed baseball. A lot of the sigs are 'soft' - Ott, Hubbell, Terry (you can see the Wm from his standard Wm H 'Bill' Terry auto on the sweet spot and the other parts of the sig match up with known exemplars)
It is on an AMERICAN LEAGUE William Harridge Ball (Harridge Red/Blue Stitch Balls were only made for 3 years - Harridge became President in 1931 and in 1934 balls were all red stitching) so this is a LAST year Harridge Red/Blue Stitch Ball.
I bought it after doing my HOMEWORK. A lot of questions were asked about WHY the 1933 Giants would sign an American league Ball... well, the ball shows good toning that could very well be attributed to being 'mudded up' and game use.
The 1933 Giants were the WORLD SERIES Champions and I have very strong belief that this ball was GAME USED in the 1933 World Series during a game at Griffith Stadium against the Washington Nationals and happened to be retrieved by a Giants fan who had it signed.
Here are the pics - you be the judge:

Re: What is your most historic item?
I'd have to say this one, even though its a record being broken that is pretty obscure and nobody seems to really care about... "Most 3-Double Games in a Single Season ever recorded." Billy Butler had 4 3-double games in 2009. I also have a bat he used in the second 3-Double game of 2009.
