The ball is signed by many participants including Joe DiMaggio on the lower in black ink west panel rating a 5-6 due to fading.

It is further accompanied by a copy of an Air Force team photo with DiMaggio and a copy of a 1945 photo from opening day, Wingman Field, HI where this game was played. The ball originates from the collection of Charlie Silvera.
