Barbers point was the United States Naval facility on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Many major league baseball players played exhibition games at that location.

This was the residence of many Detroit tiger baseball players. Including Hank Greenberg. We also obtained items from Hank Greenberg from this gentleman. Greenberg was in the Army Air Force and served in the Pacific. He certainly pass through Hawaii on several occasions. While we cannot say with specificity that this ball was from Hank Greenberg, or used by Hank Greenberg, that is our belief. Still, it is in authentic era ball indicating from a game at barbers point.Without further photo matching which is probably impossible, we will never know who played with this ball at that game.
