August 16,1861 baseball
I posted this yesterday in the memorabilia section, but since I am grasping at straws, let me post here too.
Sometime within the last 15 years there was up for auction, a baseball dated August 16, 1861 and also the teams and final score written on it. I kick myself for not going all-out to get it. Why? Because this game was played on my birthday-BUT exactly 100 years before I was born. One of those things that haunts me for passing it up. If anyone knows of this ball's where-abouts......let me know if it may be for sale.

Not the answer exactly, but there's writeups here on a (fake) ball from August 17, 1858, and a (real? maybe?) ball from October 21, 1861, sold at Legendary in 2002 for $58K.

Conversely, two American icons passed away on August 16. The Babe in 1948. Elvis in 1977.
