I think Jasmani used to work for Mastro; I recall he helped out when I called once for a better description of a lot. But he didn't really understand this ball. He said he didn't know why the number 29 appeared after Atlantics, but it was simply part of the score: Atlantics 29, Pastimes 15. In that respect he didn't come across as much of an expert. Neat ball. I think the original trophy case was displayed in Ebbetts Field and apparently broken up at some point. I've seen quite a few of these Atlantics balls sold over the years. They are unquestionably great.
