Re: Mariano Rivera Signed Game Used Final Out Steiner Baseballs
Isn't that what Steiner is selling for 1200, Rivera final out (save) baseballs? Here is the description from their website:
Mariano Rivera is the ultimate Yankees closer. Since his Major League debut in 1995, Rivera has saved 482 games over the first 14 years of his career, with a 2.29 lifetime ERA. Additionally, Rivera holds the Major League record for postseason saves and most World Series saves. Rivera earned the 1999 World Series MVP, the 2003 ALCS MVP and is a nine-time All-Star who nailed down his record-tying third All-Star Game Save on July 11, 2006. Mariano Rivera has hand signed this 2008 Final Season logo baseball and added the inscription “Final Out” because it was the baseball used to record the final out of a game he finished at home during the 2008 season. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.

Re: Mariano Rivera Signed Game Used Final Out Steiner Baseballs
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOA now that is really weird either someone there is watching this site or it is pure coincidence.
They changed the description. In my previous comment the description was worded different.
It was something to the effect and it was highlited in a light gray color that is was "Thee ball used for the last out"
Now it is gone, that is very strange.

Re: Mariano Rivera Signed Game Used Final Out Steiner Baseballs
Just as a Heads up I was notified by someone from Steiner
That these balls actually come directly fro Riveras personal collection.
He actually saves the last ball from every game he saves and at the end of the year he gives them to Steiner.
Unfortunately he does not date them, so there is no way of telling which game it was actually from. But you can rest assure they are definitely the last out and to me even cooler because they come from Mo himself.

Re: Mariano Rivera Signed Game Used Final Out Steiner Baseballs
The baseballs are a great item, I have one myself in my collection. Although they are not mlb authenticated (as they do come directly from Mariano)... they do come with a personal letter signed by Mariano stating they were used to make the final out of a save from the 2008 season. They are an amazing item from the final season at Yankee Stadium.

Re: Mariano Rivera Signed Game Used Final Out Steiner Baseballs
To each his own........but to me, they are over-priced and not desireable at all.
I mean.....If Mariano can't even take the time to notate the ball with SOMETHING, indicating what game it was from....a date....a symbol.....ANYTHING to identify it later to tie it to a specific game.......then it's just a piece of heresay.
I wouldn't give them $20.00 for it.
For a grand plus, if you can't place it to a specific point in time, to a specific game, with specific memories of a moment in time.....it's not worth that kind of coin.
But that's just me.

Re: Mariano Rivera Signed Game Used Final Out Steiner Baseballs
I knew that Mo always keeps the baseballs from the final out of his saves, and am a little disappointed that he doesnt keep track of them. Does he just have a box of baseballs? Does he at least keep track of milestone saves? I would still pay a little more than 20 bucks though.
