After years of collecting I finally seem to have settled on a PC. The items I find most compelling are those at the nexus between baseball and general history. I'm also focused on items that are fairly unique. A couple of examples are a baseball from WWII signed by a team in the Pacific including Stan Musial and others (from Musial's private collection) and a baseball signed by the 1931 All-Star team that went to Japan. (images below).
I've been trying to come up with other events/people/collectibles to target to expand the collection and would love to tap into the wealth of baseball knowledge on the boards here. I know I want something tied to the ***** Leagues, but have not figured out the item that I think would have the historic and cultural significance. Beyond that I'm not even sure where to look next. I'm not really interested in movie related items, so that's a road I've chosen not to go down.
So I'd love to hear, where are some times when baseball has stepped beyond its natural boundaries and impacted (or been impacted by general history?)
