Need help dating/researching old timers game

[RelicSports]

Hello all!

I recently purchased an anniversary/old-timers ball signed by several members of the 1924 Giants and 1924 Senators. Per the seller, it is from the early 50's. I have tried to google various keywords but so far all I have been able to come up with is a photo from the day (from an old Mears auction), but have not been able to determine the date, location, who played, and any dignitaries in attendance. I know some of you are whiz's when it comes to baseball history/research...so any help/info you can throw at me is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Might be the July 27, 1964 Hall of Fame Game at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown; Washington Senators v. New York Mets. Perhaps the 40th anniversary celebration. Just a guess, great baseball.

Billy Southworth
Travis Jackson
George Kelly
Jack Bentley
Frank Frisch
Hank Gowdy
Irish Meusel
Freddy Lindstrom
Al Schact
Bill Terry
Muddy Ruel
Earl McNeely
1 additional signature I am still trying to determine

This game was in 1951, August I think, at Griffith Stadium, a "recreation" of the 1924 World Series with just about everybody from the Senators and Giants who was still around. Hope this helps.

That was just the info I needed to put me over the top. I found the below article via google. Thank you Ty & Hank!

I wonder how long poor Jack Bentley and Earl McNeely had to pitch/swing the bat until they were able to "achieve" the desired bad hop over Lindstrom...
