Presented here is a baseball signed by 25 members of the National League pennant winning Chicago Cubs. The Cubs, under manager Joe McCarthy, won 98 games, setting up a matchup with Connie Mack and his fearsome Philadelphia Athletics. Although the Cubs lost the World Series in five games, it was an incredibly close Fall Classic. Game 2, a 9-3 Philadelphia victory, was the only game to be decided by more than two runs.
Hall of Famers Ki Ki Cuyler and Hack Wilson have signed this Official National League John A. Heydler baseball. Other signatures include Lynn Nelson, Riggs Stephenson, Jimmy Burke, Charlie Grimm, Danny Taylor, Johnny Schulte, Zack Taylor, Pat Malone, Clyde Beck, and several more have signed this red and blue stitched orb. Please note that the signatures of Gabby Hartnett, Joe McCarthy, and Rogers Hornsby have been deemed clubhouse signatures. The signatures have been written in black fountain pen. This item comes with a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A81846).
