Jack Onslow is the one you haven't listed, unless there's another.

I'm actually amazed that you saw everybody else. Rhodes was pretty faint. Of interest is that there were two Dustys on the '34 Red Sox, Rhodes and Cooke. Agree that it's Rhodes on the ball.

It's been around 40 years since I originally figured out the other names, and they have all faded a bit since then.

As for Onslow, would he have had a reason to be at a Red Sox / Yankees game in 1934? I always had Fritz Ostermueller as a maybe on my list.

Edited to add that I see Onslow was a Red Sox coach in 1934... he's probably the one.

Awesome story Doug!! Not that it’s even crossed your mind, but please don’t add Bonds to this ball! I think it would be bad juju, personally.

Incredible story! And a happy ending to boot!

Ha! Bonds, Pujols, Rodriguez, Griffey, Thome, Sosa, McGwire, etc. Nope, sorry guys, it's perfect how it is.

After I got Aaron on it I thought about getting Mantle, but I liked 'top 5' better than 'top 6'.

Loved reading your story Doug and very happy you found it. I’ve had things go missing and never found, so I know the feeling.

What was you first thought when you rediscovered it?
