Gehrig Homerun Baseball ???

And here's a close of the date.

Looks like 24 to me and the year 1923, he did hit 24 homers that year (in the minors).

I agree with this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It may be a coincidence, but on June 22, 1927, the Yankees played a double header in Boston. In the first game, Babe Ruth hit 2 homers, the second one was his 24th of the season. This would be consistent with the information I am seeing on the ball.

On 6/22/27 Ruth hit H.R.'s 23 and 24 against the Red Sox....Looks like the ball could be Ruth's 24th HR Ball?

Thanks for the info guys.

Not meaning to pile on but it does look like 24 and 6/22/27. But any chance it is 6/29/27? That is the date Gehrig hit his 24th in 1927.

The right angle at lower left corner on the (4,9) would indicate to me it is 24th. Can't make out the other details, but, do the facts check if it is 24th HR?
