1909 World Series Game Used Baseball - Game 1
22 year old Ty Cobb vs 35 year old Honus Wagner - 1st major meeting of the 2 on a field.
(from Paddy O'Connor collection, catcher Pitt.)
Per our resident expert Brandon Grunbaum, the Harry Pullium stamped balls are very rare only a handful have surfaced. Pulliam shot himself in NYC in the summer of 1909, they say due to the stress of his position and his decison on the famous Fred Merkle play the season before, giving the Cubs their last World Series.
