“The wind is blowing out!” Five words that pitchers do not want to hear when tasked with pitching at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field in Chicago. That’s what the scenario was during the May 17, 1979 game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs. This Official National League Charles S. Feeney baseball was used during this high scoring 23-22 Phillies win. The 45 runs scored are a modern day record and this toned baseball with game used marks, shows excellent game use. Inscribed on the sweet spot in thick black ink is “Thursday, May 17, 1979 Phillies at Chicago Phils 23 Cubs 22”. This game used baseball comes with a full LOA from Mears, who have graded this baseball “Authentic”. This baseball was previously sold for $6,000 in prior auction.
