There are 2 players on the ball that were not on the 1927 or 28 team.
Ed Wells was with the Detroit Tigers in 1927. He was acquired by the Yanks in August 1928, but didn't play for them until 1929.
Roy Sherid's first game in the majors was May 11, 1929.
Also Leo Durocher was sold to the Reds in Feb of 1930, so he was off the team before the season. This should definitively date the ball to 1929.
Nice ball,
Mark
