This a Pearson P.T.C. League baseball with original box, signed by 6 players of the old Philadelphia A's. The players are: "Chubby" Dean, Dee Miles, Wally Moses, Frankie Hayes, "Indian" Bob Johnson and Benny McCoy. When and where this ball was signed is unknown but around the Philadelphia area in the 1940's & 50's, there were many industrial leagues. This is probably a league sponsored by the old Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC) which is called SEPTA today.  Many players, when their major league career ended, continued to play in these industrial leagues. It very rare to find a baseball from that era with it's original box.  One flap is missing from the box.

The Mexican League (Spanish: Liga Mexicana de Béisbol) is a summer minor league baseball league with teams based across Mexico. Along with the International League and the Pacific Coast League, it is one of three leagues playing at the triple-A level, which is one step below Major League Baseball. It is the only Minor League Baseball (MiLB) that is a sanctioned triple-A league outside the United States. Nonetheless, Mexican League teams are not affiliated with specific Major League Baseball clubs as part of the farm system like the International and the Pacific Coast leagues. It was founded in 1925 and continues to operate today. This ball and box are in mint condition.   

The ball on the left is an unopened American League baseball from the 50's, 60's & 70's era when Joe Cronin was the commissioner of the AL from 1959 to 1973. The balls are stamped with Joe Cronin's name as commissioner on them.   

These are official National League Baseballs made by Rawlings and manufactured in Haiti as shown on the label of the box. What makes these so significant is that they are from the 1980's and stamped with the commissioners name on them - A. Bartlett Giamatti - who was commissioner at the time he banned Pete Rose from baseball for life for betting on games while he was manager of the Cincinnati Reds. These are great for getting autographed by Pete Rose. We might still have a few of these Giamatti - Rose signed balls in stock which sell for $200 ea. There is no place to purchase these Giamatti balls anymore which renders them much more valuable now.   

This appears to be an old softball from the 1940's. There is no labeling visible. It shows lots of use but is still in excellent shape for its age. The lacing is tight except for one very small spot that show slight separation. Very nice display piece.   

The Ohio-Pennsylvania League (1905–1912) was among scores of minor league baseball organizations that popped up throughout the country and the New York-Pennsylvania League of 1923 through 1937 was an American minor league baseball circuit. Class AA Eastern League. The ball is in Nr-Mint condition. A nice collectors item.   

The American Association (AA) was a Major League that existed from 1882 to 1891. During that time, it challenged the National League (NL) for dominance of professional baseball. Together with the NL, the AA participated in an early version of the World Series seven times. What weakened the AA was that teams would jump to the National League. The most significant blow to the AA was dealt by the Players' League, a third major league fromed in 1890 which siphoned off talent and gate receipts. In a rare historical oddity, the Brooklyn Bridegrooms (now the Los Angeles Dodgers) won the league's championship and represented the AA in the 1889 World Series, switched to the NL during the off-season, and then repeated the same feat.The American Association evolved into what is now the National League and was reformed as  a minor league baseball league at tye Triple-A level from 1902 to 1962. (Collectors Digest 1995 Price Guide shows A.A. balls Nr-Mint valued at $1200 in 1995.)   

The Eastern League was founded in 1923 as the New York-Pennsylvania League. In 1936 the first team outside of the two original states was created, when the York White Roses of York, PA moved to Trenton, New Jersey and renamed the Trenton Senators. When, in 1938, the Scranton Miners of Scranton, PA team moved to Hartford, Connecticut and renamed the Hartford Bees, the league was renamed the Eastern League. Ball is in excellent condition.   

The International League was created from the mergers of member teams from three precursor leagues: the Eastern League, founded in 1884; the New York State League, formed in 1885; and the Ontario League, also organized in 1885. The New York State and Ontario leagues merged in 1886 to form the International League.

These are a pair of old softballs - neither one has any legible markings. The major difference between them is the stitching. The ball on the left has tight undersewn stitching which gives the seams a smooth feel. The ball on the right has the traditional laced type stitching that is slightly raised like hardballs. The stitching is also black and red. Both balls have very slight separation of the stitching as shown in the photo, and wear and tear shows on both balls.
