Sept.5, 1889 Trophyball
I purchased the Baseball below May 4th, 2008 and have been researching to find out all I can about it and the game. Still haven't found out who won the game. I posted the ball in Jan. 2009 with the help of Leon and with the help of NET54 members have found out there was a pin sold at Oregon Trail Auction (Dan B. helped with that info). Clint posted a picture of the ad with the pin. Joe G. found out about the ball before it was posted and contacted me to see the ball. He posted better pictures of the ball and then found a picture of the 1889 Detroit Baseball Team in the Burton Collection at the Detroit Library. I have been trying to find out more about the Cleveland team but I am not very good at using the internet or computers. I contacted the Cleveland Police Museum and two different people said they would try and find out what they could for me but haven't heard back from them. I want to THANK THE NET54 MEMBERS for all there help. They are the best resource I have found. Dynarl
