As it turns out, I am headed to Cooperstown in a couple of weeks. I will try to remember to ask about the 1938 Rahr baseball.

In search of the elusive Rahr yellow ball… Telling of this quest just gets better and better. I love it!

Nice sleuthing, Paul. If “Boardwalk Brown” were pitching today, he wouldn’t make it past the 3rd inning - pitch counts, you know.

Thank you Paul for the mention. I said to my Son when we were at Yankee Stadium it looks like shellac or varnish is covering the ball. I’m glad they stopped doing that!

Who knows, maybe there’s a garage sale going on right now that has THE ball for sale for $10!

Fascinating topic!

Thanx again!

Thanks to you, Jeff! The thrill of the chase is what we're after, really. That, and a fun excuse to write about New Jersey's own Carroll Brown.

I wonder if the Yogi Berra museum has something there. It’s been eons since I been. I’m gonna look into it.
