Some of my vintage baseball collection - Part I


Ok, here is one of my first balls I collected. This is a Spalding Official Pony League Baseball designated at "No. SPB (172) 41-133." This Ball was used during Pony League games. PONY is actually an acronym that stands for "Pennsylvania, Ontario, New York," the main geographic area where Pony league games were played.

The Pony league was founded in 1939 and originally included the following teams: Batavia Clippers, Bradford bees, Hamilton Red Wings, Jamestown Jaguars, Niagra Falls Rainbows and the Olean Oilers.

The Pony league remains active to this day. It is believed that this ball in my collection is from the 1960s. The box has never been opened.
