Any good way to autograph a wet baseball?
I just bought the baseball that Nelson Cruz hit into the "ray pool" in Tampa. It's been a week and the ball is still water logged. I was thinking about having him sign it with a cool inscription or something but don't want the ink to bleed or just look terrible. Any ideas on how to get a good clean signature? Thanks!

Ryan,
I got a baseball signed this spring training that I didn't realize was barely wet and it looks terrible at the point (only 3 months later). I've read about putting baseballs in the oven (around 200 degrees) or in the dryer on a shoe rack but I've never tried it. Hopefully some method works out for you.

Sorry to offend camaro, I actually live in NY and didn't realize the Tampa Bay Rays don't play in Tampa. I might have to ship it back to Florida to find sunshine haha. Thanks for the advice.
Ethan, that's exactly what I was worried about.

You might try the old rice in bag trick that sometimes works with cell phones when they get dropped in water...not sure if it would work, but it might be worth a try...from the sounds of it, you may have to use a pretty generous portion of rice.

First of all please don't stick it in an oven. Sounds waaaaaaaay waaaaaaay waaaaaay too risky Honestly patience is probably best.
