Default Stan the man-this day in history..

On this day: Stan the Man leads the cardinals to victory over the Redlegs with a two run homer in the top of the ninth. hall of famer Frank Robinson made his debut and gathered his first hit in the game... This ball was removed from an ohio estate and likely used in that game... There are 11 other signatures on the ball (no players). My gut tells me this one was a souvenir a fan captured, and perhaps had his friends whom attended with him sign... the date is actually in the same ink, just applied with significantly more pressure... Stan liked to use caps, and i believe the inscription is also olin his hand. light coat of shellack has held this beaut together for 64 years!

Not a new pickup but thought i would share
