1941 Briggs Stadium baseball...
I picked up this old OAL Reach baseball from a local antiques dealer. The inscription reads, "Briggs Stadium, May 4, 1941, Foul ball by Priddy of the Yankees, Tigers vs. NY Yankees, 7th foul ball hit by him that day."
I looked up the box score and the date matches up. The Tigers won 10-1 with Bobo Newsom getting the win. Joe DiMaggio hit a double and started his 56 game streak 11 days later.
