I ordered a ball from the Marlins the other day which was supposed to be a Randal Grichuk single. It arrived in the mail today, but when I looked up the hologram (HZ 468123) on the MLB authentication webpage (http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/authentication) I found something very interesting. It gives this description:

Session Name: STL AT MIA
Session Date: June 23, 2015
Autographer:
Authenticator: AUTHENTICATORS, INC.
Additional Information: BATTER - RANDAL GRICHUK, PITCHER - JOSE URENA, TOP OF 3, SINGLE

However, when I checked the box score for that game (http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index...e_state=Wrapup) it does not show that Grichuk had a hit that game.

When I looked at the play-by-play, it shows that Grichuk grounded into a force out (Kolten Wong was out at 2nd on the play), so despite the fact that Grichuk ended up on 1st, he was not credited with a hit.

Thus, since Grichuk did not get a hit on the play, the authentication on the ball is incorrect and this was not in fact a Grichuk "hit" ball, it is just a simple forceout/ground out which is mislabeled.

Notwithstanding my thought that I overpaid for a ball which was sold as a "hit" (which was not a hit), I am wondering if anyone knows of someone to contact who might be able to correct this mistake. Any other information anyone can provide would be appreciated.

As an aside, in case anyone is wondering, I did email Joe with the Marlins and I am awaiting a response.
