This vintage, golden OAL Harridge ball has the signatures of Hall of Famers Herb Pennock and Heinie Manush. Pennock racked up 240 victories against just 160 defeats in a 22-year career, most with the legendary New York Yankees of the Roaring Twenties. Manush, who replaced Ty Cobb in centerfield in 1926 for the Detroit Tigers, won the batting title that year by hitting .378 and compiled a career .330 average. They are among 22 on the ball, most of which are apparently of a barnstorming team. Pennock signed on the sweet spot in blue fountain pen, with the signature rating a strong 8. Manush signed just to the left, also in blue fountain pen, also rating an 8.
