Help identifying signatures on this 1934 Tour of Japan Baseball
Hey all,
I picked up this baseball at the last Heritage Auction. They labeled in the most comprehensive 1934 ball they have ever seen, so I guess it comes with the territory that I'm struggling to determine who some of the players are. Here's what I think it is. Would really appreciate help filling in the ??'s. Much thanks in advance! Panel 1: Sweet Spot Babe Ruth ? (seems to be upside down but not sure...) Panel 2: "A.L. STARS Hololulu T.H. /34 Connie Mack Lou Gehrig Rabbit Warstler Bing Miller Lefty O'Doul ? Panel 3: Joe Cascarella Jimmie Foxx Earl Whitehill ?? (left side) Charlie Gehringer ?? (Signature on bottom) Edit: Hans Pung - Hawaii baseball player (Signature on right side) Panel 4: Doc Ebbing Frank Hayes Lefty Gomez Clint Brown Edit: Johnny Kerr (Hawaii baseball player) ?? Panel 5: ?? (left side) Moe Berg Eric McNair Earl Averill ?? ?? Panel 6: ?? Some names I thought I might see, but don't think are there: John Quinn (umpire) Robert J. Schroeder (A's traveling secretary who helped arrange the trip) Sotaro Suzuki (translator) F. T. Matsumato (friend of Moe Berg, translator) I'm wondering if some of the signatures may be Japanese players (in english) or wives of players although I have not found matches just yet.
