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!
Hot damn! Reading your stuff makes my day better!
Reading affirming comments does the same for me! Enjoy your day and week.
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.
Great! Tell them "this guy from the internet" sent you.
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.

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.
