In the early days of baseball, especially at the amateur level, only one ball would be used per game. At the end of the game, the winning team would decorate the ball, put the score, date, etc., and would present it to someone.
I spent some time this morning trying to find information on the ball, but so far, I have come up short. I'll continue to research it, as time allows, because I would really like to be able to find some information on this ball, and the game it describes, if it is available.
Regardless, the ball is really cool. I'm glad I was able to get it.
I think it is really cool to own a ball that was used in a time when Theodore Roosevelt was president. I hope I can find out more about it. In the meantime, check out who I got it from: www.epicink.net
