Recently added this 1914 single signed Buck Herzog ball. The inscription is to Harry Stephens, the Reds club secretary, who I believe played a large role in bringing Herzog to Cincinnati as player-manager.

There is another notation on the ball that is mostly non-decipherable (Begins "The first...") and the score "Cincie 10 - Chicago 1", along withe the date "April 14, 1914", which likely makes this a game ball from opening day at Redland Field and Buck Herzog's first game as manager.
