I Purchased the Ball
I was the high bidder on the federal league ball. I collect FL items and for me the appeal was two fold. It is a federal league ball which is hard to find and it is a one-of a kind item related to the FL. I couldn't resist the provenance that came with it and the spectacle of the day the season opened. And Baltimore has a special place for me because, with the Baltimore federal league team, Ruth never gets sold to the Red Sox and never becomes a Yankee......so in my opinion, the Baltimore franchise changed the course of baseball......and for that reason, I think the ball is really cool and worth every penny. I may donate it to the Baltimore or Babe Ruth museum one day so everyone can enjoy it.
How many collectors would pay that amount for a 1933 Ruth Goudey, 1909 Cobb etc, of which thousands and tens of thousands exist?
