So other soulless shit slingers have tossed less crap on a wall and some of it stuck...so why shouldn't I belive my crap will stick?

Why not lead with not everyone who signed the ball was there on March 10th 1954?

Ok here it goes "EVERYONE WHO SIGNED THE BALL WAS THERE ON MARCH 10TH 1954".

I seriously doubt the collector got Guy Morton's signature after that March 10th game when he was playing in North Carolina with the patriots when everyone on that ball was a active red sox/braves players. If you had ANYTHING to back up your claims I would be all ears, but I haven't seen one shred of evidence to back up what you're saying. Is it that you don't want it be from that date? There is a very high probability it was signed March 10th with all the evidence I have found. Of course I don't know 100% because I wasn't there obviously but with the evidence I do have its highly likely

Welcome to NET54!

Awesome research & sweet early Aaron auto baseball!

On the topic of the Aaron ball, based on info above and some research on my own...

During the 1954 Spring Training & Exhib, Braves played Red Sox 8 times. x2 in March x6 in April

Probably the dates I would focus most on is March 10th Braves vs. Red Sox Sarasota,FL & March 22nd Red Sox vs. Braves Bradenton, FL

Did Morton play in the March 22nd game? Even if wasn't he might of still been in camp based on what you mention from a March 25 newspaper he was sent down.

To me, as of now, hard to prove Aaron sign the ball on March 10th or March 22nd?

The side auto panel that has Aaron order goes...
Floyd Baker-Sox,
Jim Pendleton- Braves,
Bob Buhl- Braves
Henry Aaron-Braves
Bill Henry- Sox

With auto team style balls based on my experience, it's tough to catch and get everyone to sign in one day(hard, but not impossible for 24 players). I don't know where the original owner lived (local) or what they did, but Sarasota,FL & Bradenton, FL is only roughly 30 mins apart. Could of gotten some autographs from the March 10th game, then finished it up March 22nd.

Overall, it's a super nice very early Aaron and I would agree the ball is highly likely from March 1954.


Since this turned into an Aaron topic...it's now an Aaron photo section
