Jim Ball Boston NL

Jim Ball was born 1884, and died 1963. He was associated with the Boston Braves of the National League. He batted and threw right-handed. His likeness survives in the cardboard record on the T204 Ramly issue. The T204 Ramly set, issued in 1909 by the Mentor Company for Ramly and T.T.T. cigarettes, is recognized for its black-and-white player portraits within ornate gold frames. Career statistics and full game-by-game records for many deadball-era contributors are incomplete in the surviving sources, leaving the cards themselves as a primary witness to the player's place in the professional game. This particular catalog entry corresponds to the card variant identified as "Jim Ball Boston NL".
