A Historic Baseball Artifact: The 1934 All-Star Game Ball

An Unforgettable Piece of Baseball History

Step back in time to the summer of 1934, when the Polo Grounds in New York City hosted the second All-Star Classic in Major League Baseball history. This event was not just a game; it was a spectacle that brought together the greatest talents of the era. Among the treasures from this iconic game is a clear-coated OAL Harridge baseball, adorned with the signatures of 18 legendary players, including some of the most revered Hall of Famers in baseball history.

Legendary Signatures

This remarkable baseball features the autographs of baseball immortals such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Charlie Gehringer, Al Simmons, Earl Averill, Red Ruffing, Jimmie Foxx, Walter Johnson, Heinie Manush, Joe Cronin, Lefty Gomez, and Rick Ferrell. These signatures, boldly inscribed in black fountain pen, average a rating of 6, reflecting their enduring clarity and historical significance.

A Game to Remember

The 1934 All-Star Game is etched in baseball lore, not only for the stellar lineup but also for the unforgettable performance by Carl Hubbell, who famously struck out Ruth, Gehrig, and Foxx in succession. Despite Hubbell’s heroics, the American League squad triumphed with a 9-7 victory, showcasing the competitive spirit and talent that defined this era of baseball.
