Yankees BP
Does anyone know if the Yankees use MiLB balls for BP?

Re: Yankees BP
Not specific to the Yankees, but occasionally teams will throw in a BP balls that come from odd sources. this has come up a few times in old posts here.
The AAA Charlotte Knights use game-used balls for BP, and then sell them as game-used. But I've seen White Sox BP balls (sent down from the big club) wind up in the Knights' "game-used" basket. Recently they had a Florida State League ball in the "game-used" basket though it was obviously not used in a Knights' game. So watch out for the occasional exception.

Re: Yankees BP
Well, the reason for my question was a Cano BP bat that was on eBay. There were MiLB ball marks on the bat, and it was inscribed 2010, so I got confused. The item was listed as GU, but was a blonde BP bat. In any case, the seller agreed to refund me, so it's now a non-issue. I just didn't see a logical reason to accept a blonde Cano bat that had little/no pine tar on the mid-label, MiLB ball marks (the batterman with stars), and BP stamp. Initially, I was considering keeping it, since it might have been used during the HR derby or All-Star warm-up, but decided against it when I saw the fairly strong MiLB ball marking.

I've had it go the other way a couple of times. A White Sox BP ball tossed to me by Ellis Burks was a Midwest League ball (the Sox had a farm club in South Bend at the time)..I also made a nice running catch on the lowest walkway down the LF line at old County Staium on a foul ball hit by Dave Henderson of the Royals...it was a ball from their AAA team at Omaha.
