While living legend manager/owner Connie Mack struggled to keep his financially strapped franchise afloat, the Philadelphia Athletics floundered to a fourth straight last place finish and one of the most dismal records in team history with 49 wins and 105 losses, finishing 49 games behind the first place Yankees in the American League. Bobby Estalella led a punch-less offense hitting 11 home runs with 63 RBI and a .259 batting average. Pitcher Jesse Flores led the team with 12 wins and a 3.11 ERA while Lum Harris compiled 21 losses. This Official 97 League ball is signed by manager Mack on its sweet spot with coach Lena Blackburne just below. Other signatures include: the aforementioned Estalella, Frankie Skaff, Lou Ciola, Vernon Benson, Jimmie Ripple, Bob Swift, Johnnie Welaj, Russ Christopher, Jim Mains, Earle Brucker, Eddie Mayo, Earle Mack, Pete Suder and Jim Tyack. Ball displays moderate toning and comes with PSA/DNA LOA certification #X02227.
