I am posting this for John G. It is a pitcher's warm up ball. It was used in the 1870s by pitchers who used it in a cartwheel motion to get their arm loose. It is quite heavy weighing close to a pound and is between the size of a baseball and a softball.

Civil War Cannon Ball converted you a pitchers warm up ball.
Thanks Gary!
I’m out of town and can’t upload. This ball was sold in Rucker’s auction a ways back. It was advertised as a pitchers warm up ball. It sure feels heavy enough to be a cannon ball. Rucker seemed to be expert enough for me to bite? I think I have seen at least one more sold in auction over the years. I still have that old Best of Yesterday catalog. They don’t have the quality and quantity of memorabilia like they used to anymore! It seems to be slowly drying up! Quote:

I still have that catalog, too, John. It is in tatters.
