Many star players from the turn of the century are still held in the utmost regard today for their lofty contributions to the game. Many of those Hall of Fame and standout players have added their signatures to this baseball, which is signed by 36 in all and most likely dates back to a Boston special event due to the heavy Boston accent. Signatures include: Cy Young, Jimmy Collins, Nap Lajoie (signed Larry Lajoie), Jack Chesbro, Jesse Burkette, Bobby Lowe, Heine Wagner, Bill Dinneen, Candy LaChance, Lee Tannehill, Tommy Madden, Patsy Dougherty, Bill Carrigan, Jack Manning, Fred Parent, Jack Barry, Kip Selbach, Bill Bradley, Tom Smith, Jimmy Archer, John Anderson, Duke Farrell, Ted Lewis, Harry Lord, Olf Henriksen and Nick Altrock. The fantastic collection of signatures are very strong throughout with the Young and Collins both grading a 9 and the Lajoie a 7, which is the average overall. This Official Partridge League baseball is only lightly toned, features bold, clear markings and grades EX or better. The autographs come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
