Vintage childlike writing peeks through the shellac, telling the story of a brush with greatness. "Hit in Right Field (325 ft.) Seats By Ted Williams Before Game." Opposing panel is dated "Aug. 15, 1959, Boston 12, Yankees 4." Another reads, "Yankee Stadium, N.Y." OAL (Harridge) ball also bears signa-tures from Phil Rizzuto and a couple other ballplayers.
