Picked this ball up recently what grabbed me was that the ball was dated April 17 1956 (has been darkened). This was opening day between the cardinals and the Reds. Musial hit a two run homer to win that game and Frank Robinson made his major league debut...the story is that a group of Ohio factory workers including the factory owner went to the game and got to get stan's signature... The ball is appropriate for the date (official nl ball) and shows use under the shellac (my hypothesis is that it was from that game, but can't prove it). I can't make out any of the signatures... Does anyone recognize them? Potentially the factory workers who attended? Names I can make out are Wes Quinn, Bill Wilson (twice-clearly never signed a baseball), bob Anderson, tom Byer?, Andy sic, john Blakeley Fred bean... Thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Dave
