hoping this 2nd pix is more clear.......(took it out of the plastic sleeve this time...doh!)
also anyone out there know if they wore these uniforms all season or they were made specifically for the World Series, seeing they have some long sleeve clothing underneath leads me to believe it was the fall. Also of note McMullin replaced Risberg for the 1917 WS because Risberg wasn't hitting late in the season so Buck moved over to SS and McMullin to 3b. Thus McMulllin started all the games and had 24 abs to Risberg's 2 abs. Just interesting because people always dismiss Fred M as that he overheard the plot and that he was insignificant because he wasn't a starter, but he was 2 years before in the '17 WS. I also like how big Gandil is compared to the others, not sure I'd of said no to him. Last edited by Shoeless Moe; 08-21-2011 at 04:26 PM. |

Thanks a lot guys. It's a great ball. I bought it from the woman who got it signed herself nearly 80 years ago.

Paul,
The person who sold that is a friend of mine. I was the one who advised him of the dating. Those uniforms were worn only in the 1917 World Series. That is why you definitively date it to that time. The Thompson stamp is one that dates to the 1910-1920 decade. Because of these two facts, you can date it pretty accurately. It is a type 1. Congrats, I think you paid a fair price for a really nice picture. Enjoy, Mark BTW, you could use a clear piece of glass for the reverse to let the back show through. I'm sure a professional framer who have some other options. Another neat idea would be to make a copy of the back and have the front and back matted together. Quote:

Paul,
Your welcome. A few more tidbits. The uniforms would've been red, white, and blue. They were designed as a tribute to the effort in WWI. Best, Mark
