Description: Unique 1931 United States All-Star Team Tour of Japan autographed baseball with Triple Play Attribution. Toned and clear coated Kajimaya "International" model baseball signed on a side panel by Willie Kamm, Rabbit Maranville, and George Kelly ranging from 7-8 out of 10. Additional period ink inscription on the ball denoting "Triple Play At Shemoneseki, Japan Nov. 24, 1931 Kamm-P to Maranville-SS to Kelly-1st B".
