Andy Pettitte's last game ball!
I just got in an ALCS game used ball from the Cliff Lee- Andy Pettitte matchup in game 3 of the ALCS. Well I didn't even think about it being Andy Pettittes last start of his career. It's MLB authenticated and Steiner Authenticated. I love it! The only problem is that the MLB database has it listed as a ball used in the alcs. So there's no way to tell if it was pitched by Pettitte!

nice ball but you don't have to start a new thread for all your new pick-ups, there is a mothly thread that you can post your recent acquisitions.

Ok. If it needs to be moved then moderators would you please move it. I was kind of hoping, even though its a long shot someone with a Pettitte ball could compare the amount of 'brownish' rubbing on it. Because I know different pitchers have different patterns with it? And this ball seems to kind of have Pettittes pattern.

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!
Nice ball. My prediction though is Andy is back by June. He has too much left to retire and he will miss the competition too much. And most importantly the Yankees need him. So this probably won't be his last game.
