Default yankee ball

Posted By: Jodi Birkholm

My guess is that it's at least partially a 1929 Braves ball, signed early in the season. Farrell was traded to the Giants after playing only five games for Boston.

I'd need to have the ball in my hands to do a better job, but here are a few:

First Scan:

1. George Sisler
2. ?
3. Bernie James
4. ?
5. Eddie Farrell
6. ?

Second Scan:

Can only decipher Taylor on the sweet spot, but to his immediate right is Percy Jones

Third Scan:

Too mottled. Try to take clear pics w/o the flash glare hitting the ball.

Fourth Scan:

1. Johnny Cooney
2. Bruce Cunningham
3. Ben Cantwell
4. ?
5. Percy Jones again
6. Kent Greenfield

That'll be $75. Cash or check?
