That said, if I had the means, a piece like that ball would thrill me. I see people spend crazy money on photos, and cards and more generic things, tho they are of course, desirable. Something like this, w the history and what it represents, is so much more "alive" IMO, and would inspire daydreaming in my mind. The ball survived all those years in the Catcher's family and somehow made it to flea bay.
IMO, simply one of my favorite items I've seen on there this year. Im Jealous, but congrats to Mr Shoeless Moe on such an AWESOME FIND SIR.

Thanks Scott, appreciate. And the losing pitcher was Rube Benton and my only daughter (age 1) name is Ruby. How's that for some sappy irony? Better yet the ball after nearly 100 years has made it's way home to Chicago, to a Sox fan, and to a regular Joe (but with Shoes).
