What's a Nap, or what are Naps?

John,
The team was actually named for Napoleon Lajoie.

This is one of those things I've wanted for quite a while but have held off as these are usually found in quite poor condition. This one is far from mint but about as good as I've seen. Given how these were used I figure there probably are not many floating around in really nice shape so I was happy with this one.

Picked up a couple exhibition programs at Wichita of the Cards vs White Sox and the Red Sox vs the Cubs. Also picked up a football which is kind of baseball related.

Hello Clint,
I saw your post over on the game used forum as well. Nice Bo Jackson ball. I have a large collection of Eagles game balls - about 18 right now, and a few non Eagles. I have a couple of game balls in identical design as your Bo Jackson ball - one is a Rams game ball and the other is a Vikings ball, so I am assuming that those teams all farmed the painting out to the same company/artist (one of my balls is mark "The Ball Company)

On a related note, I recently picked up three Eagles game balls from a relative of former Eagles owner Leonard Tose. Tose's story is a fairly sad one in that he owned a huge trucking company and the Eagles, only to lose it all due to a massive gambling problem.

Here are my newest Eagles game balls, as well as the other ones I mentioned that look like your ball.

Keith, thanks for posting those pictures. It does look very similar to the bottom two. I was hoping mine was the real deal. At the card shop I looked for info on the game and one of his cards said he got 91 yards rushing. When I got home and pulled the game up he scored 3 tds and had 221 yards rushing. It was also the game he ran Bosworth over. It got me thinking maybe it's too good to be true. There is a name on the back Omar Valdes. I guess he might be the guy that painted it.

Great footballs by the way and thanks for the help.
