Beautiful Ty Cobb "Tyrus" Signed 1921 Game Used Official AL Baseball PSA DNA COA

Ty Cobb was a perfectionist who demanded the same from fellow players, umpires, but especially his son, Tyrus, Jr. Stories abound of the ballplayer being harsh on his son, even supposedly beating him for flunking out of Princeton. Ty, Jr. ended up becoming a physician so the intelligence was obviously inherited. However, late in the 1921 American League season an 11 year old Ty, Jr. was at Fenway Park to see his father's Detroit Tigers defeat the hometown Boston Red Sox.

During the game on September 13, 1921, this game ball was signed by father and son. We can assume this to be a game used Official American League ball from that contest, as the iconic Hall of Famer provides the details of the contest in a stunning side-panel inscription, "Tyrus Cobb, Detroit Tigers, Detroit 7 Boston 2, Sept-13-21", a game where Cobb, as usual, was instrumental in the victory, going 1 for 2, with a pair of walks and a run scored. The 11 year old Ty, Jr. complements the bookend design by applying his autograph to the adjacent panel, adding a "Sept. 14, 1921" notation, either a mistake or an indication that Junior's signature came a day later. 

One of the nicest "playing days" Cobb autographs on a ball we have seen, with the very unique Ty Cobb, Jr. complementary signature, quite possibly the only baseball with the father and son pairing. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
