President Calvin Coolidge Signed "First Pitch" 1928 Baseball - A Rare Presidential Memento of Sport and History. We are privileged to offer a unique artifact of American sports and presidential history - a baseball signed by none other than the 30th President of the United States, Calvin Coolidge. The historical significance of this ball is amplified by the circumstance: this is no ordinary signed baseball, but a "First Pitch" ball from 1928, thrown by President Coolidge himself. Calvin Coolidge, fondly known as "Silent Cal," served as President from 1923 to 1929, a pivotal era in America's history which saw significant economic, social, and cultural transformation. Contrasting his quiet demeanor, Coolidge enthusiastically embraced the tradition of the Presidential "First Pitch," demonstrating the convergence of the spheres of politics and sports. The First Pitch tradition goes back to 1910, when President William Howard Taft threw the inaugural pitch to start the baseball season, setting a precedent for all subsequent presidents. President Coolidge's participation in this tradition is emblematic of the close ties between America's national pastime and the presidency, symbolizing baseball's cultural significance and its integration with American identity. The year of the pitch, 1928, was a noteworthy one. It marked Coolidge's last full year in office, and his decision not to run for a second term still intrigues historians. Thus, the baseball serves as a connection to this intriguing period in American history, carrying the echoes of a momentous year. The ball bears the bold, distinctive signature of Coolidge. The clarity and execution suggest that the president took genuine care in signing this baseball, elevating its value.
