So happy you rediscovered it, Doug. And you did so while doing something nice for your Dad. Lesson learned.
Man, you have to love how the more modern ballpoint just clung on to that old leather for dear life. I wish Rawlings cared enough to study exactly why a 90 year old ball can hold ballpoint so well, yet their garbage Manfred and Selig balls fade after a year.
What's driving me nuts is who is underneath Dickey! I have spent so much time examining autographs from this era that identifying them is as second nature as breathing, so this is killing me. I can't make it out. The combination of fading & poor angle/lighting doesn't usually stand in my way, either.
Edit: Actually, maybe Carl Reynolds...has to be. Joe Mulligan only played one season. 1934 BoSox. Reynolds was his teammate.
