Rare Negro League auto. baseball c.1931-34. Toned Wm. Harridge red and blue stitched ball (side stamped) with over (30) players names signed and printed on the ball.

Joh Gibson, Bingo De Moss, Nate Harris, Biz Mackey, Fats Jenkins, Oscar Charleston, Ted Radcliffe, Dick Lundy, and Herbert Dixon among others. A number of the signatures are clearly autographed by the players and are consistent with known examples.

Ball originated from the family of the original recipient who played with the Minnesota Red Socks and obtained the signatures at a game.

Idol of cheering millions, Records are yours by sheaves; Iron of frame they hailed you; Decked you with laurel leaves. But higher that that we hold you, We who have known you best; Knowing the way that we hold you, We who have knwon you the best; Knowing the way you cam through, Every human test. Let this be a silent token, Of lasting Friendship's gleam, And all that we've left unspoken; Your Pals of the Yankee Team".
