1920 Bob Emslie Single Signed Baseball, Umpire for Merk

Item Details

Description

1920 Bob Emslie Single Signed Baseball, Umpire for Merkle's Boner. Furious Giants manager John McGraw dubbed Emslie "Blind Bob" after the call which robbed New York of its 1908 pennant-clinching victory, but Emslie had the last laugh, showing up at a Giants practice with a rifle over his shoulder. Emslie placed a dime on the pitching rubber and retreated to his umpiring position behind home plate. Aiming and firing, Emslie sent the dime skipping into the outfield. McGraw never used the nickname again. The presented ball is the only known autograph from this notorious umpire, the black fountain pen inscription applied to a side panel of the ONL (Heydler) model. A date of "1920" appears on the opposing panel. Please note that the lack of known exemplars makes standard authentication impossible, but Heritage is as confident as can be of the signature's legitimacy. No third party paperwork will be available, however, due to the ball's singular status.

Shipping: Balls, Pucks, etc. - Encased, Small

Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions the Live Auctioneer bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject a Live Auctioneer Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the Live Auctioneers live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via Live Auctioneers, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since Live Auctioneer bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the Live Auctioneer bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie Live Auctioneer bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through Live Auctioneers carry a 19.50% Buyer's Premium with a $14 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
Lot: 81727

Winning Notification and Billing: After the final session in this auction is complete, Heritage will send e-mail and postal mail invoices. This process normally takes several days.
