Lot Essay

Toned and moderately soiled B.Johnson American League baseball exhibiting evident game use. Johnny Evers has signed and inscribed the baseball in black fountain pen, "Cleveland 6 White Sox 1 My Last Game Johnnie Evers April 27, 1922". Inscription and signature range from 4 to 7 out of 10 remaining generally easily legible. The great veteran Evers had first retired from baseball in 1917 and played just one game for the White Sox in 1922 while serving a coach to fill in as a needed player. He subsequently returned in 1929 for yet another single game appearance technically rendering the offered baseball as a mark for his second finale or three. In any event, Evers was one of the finest players of the dead ball era rating as one of the tougher single signature exemplars to obtain from the Hall of Fame members who played during that period. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA and a copy of 1993 notarized letter of provenance from the Evers family: Ball: VG-EX: Signature/Inscription: Range from VG/EX-NM
