Fun PCL find at the PDX antique show

Ghumbs · Mar 5, 2017

Came across a couple baseballs in a basket on the bottom shelf at one of the booths. The ball I passed on had alternate stitching like this one, but you couldn't really make out any markings.

Here's the one I ended up with.

What does the signature say? It looks like Walter the Great Mail.

It is signed Walter "The Great" Mails. While he always seemed to sign "Walter", and sometimes referred to himself as "The Great", he went by Duster Mails.

Turns out he was on 2 WS winning teams. Here's some info about him:
