Several months ago I bought this PCL ball via Wheatland. Hopefully the pictures show up in link above. This may have been from Uncle Jimmy’s collection as it was included in one of the various auctions.
I have been researching the history of the PCL and clearly in the 1930’s it had a tremendous group of talent and was very much the near major league before MLB expanded west.
Several names I can make out or listed are Joe DiMaggio, PeeWee Reese, Joe Gordon, Red Ruffing, Johnny Mize, Hugh Casey, Virgil Trucks among others. Besides trying to figure out some other names I was more curious as to a guess if this was signed back in the 30’s before Joe D went to the Yankees based on names listed or even the PCL ball etc. I did take a few pics myself, but I think the photos linked to the auction are better.
Any help appreciated.
