March pickups

Thanks Steve and Mike. Images tell us that these flags were in use prior to the 1938 season. This examples spans the period of 1939-1946 as it would have been current through the 1945 regular season. I suspect these flags may have been replaced annually or maybe every couple of years depending on wear. I am doing to some looking into Wrigley Field photos to see what is the earliest and what is the latest time frame that these flags can be found. Looking for forward to this project as I tend to spend most of my "baseball time" looking at other peoples stuff.

An official All American Girls Professional Baseball League ball made by MacGregor Goldsmith. Unfortunately the side panel stamping with Max Carey's league president signature has worn away. It measures 11 inches in circumference which dates it to 1946-47 when pitching was still largely underhanded. When the league began in 1943, 12 inch balls were used. Gradually the balls were reduced in size until 9 inch baseballs were used during the league's last season in 1954.

Originally a '39 Giants team signed ball, the original owner must have grabbed it in haste when the opportunity to have the Babe sign it, presented itself. Most of the ink from Babe's signature is still left on the ball - presents incredibly well. Even though its not the coveted single-signed OAL sweet spot ball, I'm very happy with it.
