I just acquired one from Game 2 with a MLB Authentication hologram sticker on it. Using the hologram number as a starting point in the MLB database, it looks like only 15 balls from Game 2 were certified as authentic with a MLB hologram. Thirteen of those are certified as Game 2 balls with no other information noted. My ball lists in the additional information area: "Ozzie Guillen - Game 2." What that means is anybody's guess, perhaps that it came from Ozzie Guillen as some point either during or after the game? The other one with additional information listed is the whopper -- Paul Konerko's grand slam. Interestingly, Scott Podsednik's Game 2 game-winning homer was not found in MLB's database, at least not in the numbered run involving my ball.
I'd like to do a little more research on this. If you have a ball from any game of the 2005 World Series, could you please list the hologram number either in this thread or to me in an email (salukidave@comcast.net)? I'd also be interested in knowing if you happened to snare a ball at one of the games that, of course, wouldn't have a hologram, like a foul ball or one tossed into the stands by a player. And does anyone know what happened to the Podsednik homer ball, and who has the Konerko ball?. I also wonder what happened to Jermaine Dye's Game 1 home run and Geoff Blum's Game 3 homer.
I'll post the results if I get enough information to report something.
