I currently live 10 miles from Burlington, Wisconsin which is where this ball came from. The description states that the owner and his father took the short drive to Comisky park to see the White Sox play. I can tell you that today, it would take me easily 2 hours to get to a Sox game on a Sunday morning with no traffic. I can only imagine in 1929, with no expressways how long it took them to get to the south side of Chicago from southern Wisconsin. There is no way in hell its just a "short trip" to the south side!!
