Re: Andy Pettitte's last game ball!
It's odd that the balls from ALCS game 3 were not specific on how they were used. I bought an ALCS game 2 ball on which the MLB authenticator specifically described how the ball was used ( fouled in dirt by Berkman off Oliver, 8th inning.) There were 55 balls from that game authenticated by MLB, as I found by going through the sequence of hologram numbers around my ball. All were specific on how the ball was used. Clearly, the Arlington authenticator was meticulous.
Could this be a difference between cities in the habits of the authenticators? Are other balls from Yankee Stadium also non-specific on how they were used?

Re: Andy Pettitte's last game ball!
First time I have ever heard this. Can someone tell me, either true or false, whether pitchers can give characteristics to a baseball. I know certain pitchers like to rub the baseball more than others but does this even leave markings on a baseball. Can their be pitcher characteristics on a baseball as there are bat characteristic on a hitters bat. Short on someone putting sandpaper (ie. Don Sutton sandpaper marks) I can't see this as being identifiable but now you got me curious.

"I can guarantee you he will not be back by June....He is a prosecution witness in the Roger Clemens' trial which is schedule to commence this summer and he will not want the distraction of pitching and having to address the Clemens trial on a dialy basis....." - Ironmanfan
Man I miss the days when a guarantee meant something!

Re: Andy Pettitte's last game ball!
I didnt realize that the statement you made was from 2011 and the thread was revisited.
You were correct sir. Forgive me. Even though this doesnt really make sense... I "misremembered"...
Ironmanfan, you were 100% correct.
