Although the inscription is light, the significance is clear. A momentous ceremonial first pitch from the Golden Era. This OAL (Barnard) baseball was thrown by President Calvin Coolidge for a Major League game in 1928. Severe fading and some scuffing has left the inscription barely legible. You can make out “First Pitch Thrown by President Coolidge” on the sweet spot and the date, “April 10th, 1928” on the panel with “Presented to Pres. E.S. Barnard” on the other. All stampings are clearly legible and the blue & red laces intact. LOA included.
