Vintage Chicago White Sox Team Baseball Autograph Year ID
While cleaning up my parent's house (they are moving) I found this old baseball. This used to be sitting on my grandma's shelf. My dad said that it was probably signed by the 1930s/1940s Chicago White Sox MLB team. I was just wondering if anyone knew exactly what year this is/who signed this baseball?
Thanks!

1940 Chicago White Sox
There was a massive turnover from the 1939 team to the 1940 one. Many new faces on the 1940 team which are on this ball. I then did roster comparisons for 1940 and 1941 teams, and Ken Silvestri was the difference eliminating the 1941 team since he was traded to the Yankees.

I did ask more history behind this ball. Apparently my great-grandfather managed a famous country club in Chicago in the 30s/40s. Lots of famous people came (including the White Sox and he got their autos. So it might not be the same year!
