Ball was presented to me as a 1941. Usually a good "tell" is Johnny Sturm, who played in 124 games that yr and was never in the Majors again!
All players fit 1941 EXCEPT 1---Mel Queen--who was there in 1942-'44-'46 & '47.
So, am I correct in assuming this ball was most likely signed during Spring Training of 1941 where Mel was most likely on the field but didn't make the team? He spent 1941 w/ 3 diff Yankee farm clubs, including AA Kansas City.
