My Mailman's Baseball
After delivering numerous packets of cards to me over the years, my mailman showed up today with this baseball. He claims that it was given to his father, by an uncle who was an avid baseball fan. They both lived in Milwaukee. On August 21, 1929 the Yankees played in Chicago. The White Sox won 4-3. Chicago was the nearest major league venue to Milwaukee in 1929. Been in the family for 83 years. I couldn't make this story up. Any thoughts?

Frank I think if you put Ruth Auto or something like that in the title you will get what you are looking for quicker. Nice find, but I am not qualified to give an opinion on that ball. Sure nice to look at though!!!

FWIW, the ball is correct for the time period, and is a tough item in its own right. Barnard's name would have only appeared on American League balls from 1928 to 1931. (Brandon may be able to narrow that date further based on the stampings).
I'll leave the signatures to others more qualified than myself.
