This ball is a team-signed souvenir from the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL). Prominent, visible signatures include team members such as Wang Kuang-Hsi (王光熙) near the center seam and date to the time The China Times Eagles were infamous for the "Black Eagles Incident" (黑鷹事件). In late 1996 and early 1997, when it was revealed that nearly the entire roster had been coerced or bribed by underworld gambling rings to fix games. Because almost all of their active players were prosecuted and banned, the franchise was forced to borrow players from other teams to finish out the year before officially disbanding in September 1997.
Looking at all the signatures and researching the era it appears the ball dates back to the team's active era in the CPBL, spanning between 1993 and 1997 – most likely mid-1997 at the heart of the scandal.
This is a multi-signed ball from the Eagles with most of the team signing. Contact to confirm specific signatures if interested.
中華職業棒球大聯盟（CPBL）時報鷹隊球員共同簽名紀念棒球。球上可見多個簽名，其中包括位於球縫中央附近的王光熙簽名。其年代可追溯至時報鷹隊因「黑鷹事件」而聲名狼藉的時期。
1996 年底至 1997 年初，時報鷹隊爆發黑鷹事件，當時揭露幾乎全隊球員遭到地下賭博集團脅迫或收買，涉及打假球。由於幾乎所有現役球員都遭到起訴並被禁賽，球隊被迫向其他球隊借調球員，以完成當季賽事，並於 1997 年 9 月正式解散。
根據球上的簽名及對當時背景的研究，這顆球應是時報鷹隊參加中華職棒期間的簽名球，年代約在 1993 至 1997 年之間，最有可能是 1997 年年中，正值黑鷹事件最受矚目的時期。
這是一顆有多位時報鷹隊球員簽名的棒球，簽名者涵蓋球隊多數成員。如有興趣確認個別簽名者的身分，歡迎與我們聯絡。
