I try to collect some items from the teams that are local to my area, so I pick up Wilkes Barre and Scranton Eastern League items when they show up. Other than programs, photos, and the usual, this ball is my favorite I have found so far. It was a game ball from when the two Rival teams met in a playoff and has both rosters listed on the ball. One of the pitchers at that time was Johnny VanderMeer, and it is noted on the ball. I think it is not only a really interesting item it might be the one of earliest VanderMeer item out there that I know since he was only in Class A ball at the time.
