Hello,
Does anyone know when MLB started using specially-marked
baseballs for a player's at-bat when he was closing in on a milestone
or record? I know they used it as far back as Bonds HR chase in 2001.
Did they use it during Sosa and McGwire's HR chase back in 1998?
To show an example, I have attached an image of a ball used during Jeter's
chase of Gehrig's Yankees hit record.
Thanks
