The faded black ink signatures include Hall of Famers Connie Mack, Ty Cobb, Lefty Grove, Jimmy Dykes, Al Simmons, Jimmy Foxx and Mickey Cochrane.
The ball was initially given to school Superintendent Joseph Chester by then-Mayor George Redding, who had attended a game.
It passed to his widow and then to the United Methodist Homes of New Jersey Foundation when she died. The foundation decided the ball should stay in North Wildwood.
The ball will be kept in a display that will include a brick from the former Shibe Park/Connie Mack Stadium.
