1931-1932 Ervin Cronk House of David Game Worn Jersey w/Impeccable Provenance
Historic 1931-32 game used jersey from one of the most unusual barnstorming sides in baseball history, the House of David. Starting in 1903, a sect of orthodox Jews formed a traveling baseball team, both as a form of generating revenue and as a way of recruiting prospects to the faith. Armed with long, flowing beards and immense talent, the team performed across the country and was even joined on occasion by such stars as Grover Cleveland Alexander, Satchel Paige, and Chief Bender. According to the included LOA from the House of David Historeum & Preservation Society, this gray wool jersey was an original team uniform in the 1931 and '32 seasons, worn by pitcher Ervin P. "Chet" Cronk. Collar has original Stall & Dean tag, with evidence of a tag above it having been removed. HOUSE OF DAVID is across the chest in blue felt, and a blue felt number 2 is on the back. Extensive use shown with dirt and sweat stains. Though the team disbanded in the 1950s, it has since been memorialized by an exhibit in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
