Wilson Official Pacific Coast League(Baggerly) BB signed by 14 members of the 1932 Mission Reds. Players on the ball are: Lou Almada Hal Anderson Charlie Briggs Bert Cole Joe Coscarart Babe Dahlgren Foy Frazier Bud Hafey Fred Hofmann(SS) Mark Koenig Dutch Lieber Herman Pillette Ted Pillette and Ben Sankey. Of special note is the sweet spot which has the added notation "To Joe Brovia Jr." right above manager Fred Hofmann's signature on the sweet spot. Brovia would grow up to be a very popular and productive player in his own right in the Pacific Coast League playing with the with the San Francisco Seals Portland Beavers Sacramento Solons and Oakland Oaks from 1941 through 1955 missing only 194245 due to World War II. Brovia was eventually inducted into the PCL Hall of Fame in 2005. Signatures rate a strong 7-8/10 vintage black ink. Ball itself was shellacked at one time and has darkened. Interesting piece of Pacific Coast League History!
Includes a Letter of Provenance from the Helms Athletic Foundation/LA84 Collection.
