Default SOLD Hank Greenberg Game Used Baseball

Ball hit by Greenberg in his first MVP season 1935, in his first Home Run Game of the season, so the game that started his MVP campaign!

Ball exhibits game use, faint but visible stampings match a 1935 American League William Harridge Baseball, has period ink, and also list the names of the people that attended the game that caught or retrieved Hank's ground rule double into center field at Cleveland's League Park on a Sunday afternoon in 1935.

Link to Game on Baseball Reference (Hank lead off the 5th inning, see G.R. 2B reference):

Now nearly 85 years later it's first appearance in our hobby it would be nice to get this into the hands of a high-end Greenberg collector, or a collector of vintage game used baseballs.

Only other Greenberg ball I could find is on Ebay for $12K a HR Ball, which trumps a Double, but still a rare ball off the bat of a Hall of Famer at a fraction of the price.

$1000 or Best Offer
