This ball is from the 1949 Asheville Tourists, a Brooklyn Dodgers farm team playing in the Tri-State League. The team was managed by Ed Head, who had pitched a no-hitter in his first start of the 1946 season for Brooklyn. He and Gale Wade were the only two players from this Asheville team who appeared in the Majors.
The most valuable signature on this ball - were it actually written, instead of stamped - would be that of C.M. Llewellyn, President of the Tri-State League. Llewellyn pitched one inning of one game for the 1922 New York Yankees, and is a tough, tough autograph to find.
