What 1914 team is this team ball supposedly from? The signature, as noted by others on this thread, looks very similar to the 1949 GPC of Thomas J. Hughes.
If this signature is of Salida Tom this would have to be a 1914 Boston Braves ball. Is there a possibility that you could send me a link to the Legendary Auction lot from which this scan originated?

Thanks in advance for your help!

This had me interested as well Scott. It looks like that's Salida Tom since it's a 1914 Miracle Braves ball (Long Tom didn't play in '14).

Mark,
Thanks for providing the Legendary link. It does indeed appear to be a 1914 Boston Braves ball with Salida Tom.

As if having the same name isn't enough, how ironic is it that both of the Tom Hughes's have surprising similiarities in the way they sign their names?
Yikes!

That 1914 Miracles Braves ball is pretty terrific, BTW!

Happy holidays!
