Signed DiMaggio ball june 27 1941

I have a ball given to me by my father with a letter from Mrs. Clark Griffith during DiMaggio's epic run, I also have a pic of my Dad at another game at Griffith Park with my Grandfather sitting with Harry S Truman and the Old Fox himself after throwing a ball onto the field, I also have a book of letters from Harry S to his wife Bess talking about that very game...my daughters could care less about the ball or baseball itself so i was going to put it on the market...any idea of it's worth?

Pretty cool stuff...its best to post pictures so that the experts can see condition, etc.

Here is a shot of the ball and letter

Awesome ball. Assuming all the provenance checks out you might be looking at $5000 or more but I'm just guessing here.

June 27th they played Phila A's. They weren't in Washington until June 29th

i did not say that my Dad was at "the" game the day the ball was signed, but my Grandfather swore Harry S Truman into office and the pic i have at home not here in the office is of my Dad, my Grandfather, Harry S and Clark Griffith himself...i will dig up the book of letters Harry wrote to Bess which mentions my Dad and Grandfather and Clark at a game and verify that date. This is the direct connection to Mrs. Clark Griffith
