I love this Wright & Ditson baseball, both for its graphics and for its place in the story of “the evolution of the baseball,” which has been a key theme of my collecting for 25 years.
Some background: In 1884, George Wright, former star of the Cincinnati Red Stockings, became an owner of the Boston franchise of the Union Association of Base Ball Clubs, a rival major league that named Wright & Ditson as the exclusive supplier of its official ball. When the Union Association folded after its inaugural season, so did Wright & Ditson's standing as a supplier of major league baseballs. The company was acquired some time prior to 1892 by Spalding, which continued to make baseballs using the Wright & Ditson name. On a separate note, if you have a nice example of a Heydler ball from 1931-1933, please let me know. |

Agree.... Those goofy graphics are so great, and really capture the mid-century era.

That baseball is awesome. My collecting was from 1800s thru the 1950s. But 19th century is my favorite. Great piece.

Picked up this nice example of a 1964 Nellie Fox game used bat when he was a member of the Houston Colt 45's. Bat is a C 12 model--is 34 inches in length and currently weighs 32.6 oz which is only .4 short of what I believe the original order weight was.
