1960-1969 Joseph Cronin Reach OAL Baseball
|
|
NOTES: |
This is a 1960-1969 Joe Cronin Reach
Official American League Baseball "Joseph E. Cronin
Pres" stamp replaces William Harridge from the year before.
The words "Official Ball" are placed at the top and
American League centers the sweetspot. The Reach
logo on the south panel remains the same from the year
before and remains the same until 1970 when the words "The
Signature of Quality" and "Reg U.S. Pat. Off" are removed
from the Reach logo.
I have found variations
with the 1960-1969 labeling period. There are
baseballs with light blue, dark blue, and the more
common green
printing. (pictured below) From my research I suspect that
the different color ink might be an indication of where the baseballs
were made. The baseball with the blue printing pictured
above was purchased in 1963.
The box pictured
below remains the same for all the baseballs made
throughout the 1960-1969 period. Back to the Official
