Description: Rare 1911 Boston Nationals team auto. baseball. The earliest 'team' autographed baseball that we have handled, the offered ball is an official National League Ball with some age toning and areas of scuffing, stampings are somewhat light but clearly visible. Ball is signed by (20) players in black ink incl. Cy Young, Mike Donlin, Pfeffer, Sweeney, Kaiser, Tyler and Rariden. Buck Weaver has also signed the ball which we can only assume that he was somehow present with the team as his rookie year was 1912 with Chicago. Signatures range from 1-6/7 with Cy Young and Weaver remaining the two best on the ball. Young pitched in the final 11 games of his career for Boston, making the window of opportunity for the signing of this ball very small.
