READ:Game Used Baseball from a September 9, 1961 matchup between the Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees
The only writing on the ball is Jim Piersall Sept 9, 1961 - so I think it's safe to assume this was a foul ball hit by Piersall or perhaps a game ball tossed to a fan by Piersall.
Piersall went 0 for 4 with a walk.
It does have a small hole in the bottom, so look like this was mounted for display at one point.
The most significant thing about this ball as it was from a 1961
Roger Maris Home Run Game (HR # 56)
