Real HOF ball?
3 Attachment(s)
Hello All! Was hoping somebody can help me ID this ball.
|
Don't know enough about the ball or the era; but the Gomez looks solid to me.
|
thank you for your feedback. Do you know of anybody that specializes in older autographed balls? Or HoF items?
|
the autograph forum on this board is as good as it gets
|
Show the rest of the ball. Looks like Medwick might be on the sweet spot and there are other signatures not shown.
|
It's got Yogi Berra, Lefty Gomez, Sam Rice, Bob Feller, Monte Irvin and what I believe is Jim Roland, from what I can see and they're all good. Based on the writing on the ball and the class that year (which included Berra and Gomez as inductees) it was probably signed during the Hall of Fame weekend.

Looks like a nice collection of mostly HOFers. I see:
Yogi Berra Lefty Gomez Sam Rice Dale Long (not HOFer but did hit a homer in 8 straight games) Bob Feller Not sure Monte Irvin Bowie Kuhn Jim Bunning (?) Joe Medwick |
The one you thought was possibly Jim Bunning is actually Joe Garagiola. And the unidentified is, I think, Jim Roland.
|
Jim Roland
The Yankees played the Dodgers in the HOF game that year, so that would explain Roland on the ball.
|
Value?
Thank you all for your informative replies! Can anyone give me a ballpark (no pun intended) idea of the value of this ball? It was given to me as payment on a debt.
