After winning the pennant in 1936 and 1937, the New York Giants beganto lose steam. The teams big stars Mel Ott, Bill Terry, Carl Hubbelland Harry Danning were on the downside of great careers and theorganization's farm system had yet to supply much needed new blood to thelineup. Though they finished in fifth place, pitchers Harry Gumbert won18 games and a 36 year old Carl Hubbell won 11 and overall the team hita collective .272 for the season. Sometime during the ’39 season one ofthe Giants passed this ball around to his teammates to sign.
