Baseball signed by inaugural 1989 Perth Heat Team
A white cowhide leather baseball with red stitching to the seams. Original signatures of the inaugural Perth Heat team cover the ball surface. The ball is stamped with the International Baseball Association 'official ball' logo, as well as details of the ball's construction and manufacturer's logo.
Since their inaugural game on October 27, 1989, where they faced the Adelaide Giants at Parry Field, the Perth Heat has established a strong presence in Australian baseball, winning 15 Claxton Shields, including six Australian League Baseball championships (at time of writing). In short, the Heat is synonymous with success.
