Re: Game Used Hit Baseball Collection
I have noticed a lot of strike out balls become labeled as fouls to the screen or pitches in the dirt to the following batter.

Re: Game Used Hit Baseball Collection
I can definitely attest to the fact that K baseballs are much harder to get than hits. Pitchers fairly commonly throw hits out of play because they don't want to use that baseball anymore. I talked to Andrew Cashner about it and joked with him that he should throw out all of the strike out baseballs and he said that I was crazy, those are the best baseballs and they want to keep using them. Third out K's get thrown in the stands by the catcher normally so the authenticators really have to be on their game to get strike out baseballs by following them through multiple at bats.

Re: Game Used Hit Baseball Collection
That's why researching a game used ball beyond the initial description will more often than not, reveal a lot more. Re:The Andrelton Simmons triple above was used in a strikeout the batter before, pitched at one point 99 mph, and was played by Stanton in the field(all not mention in the MLB authentication).

Re: Game Used Hit Baseball Collection
A couple questions...
I noticed none of the pictured hit balls are signed? Any particular reason?
I have a Paul Konerko hit ball. I want to have it inscribed "Hit # 2,204." Would you also add an "RBI # 1,351" inscription?

Re: Game Used Hit Baseball Collection
If you are going to have it signed and inscribed then I would definitely have them add the stats whether it be hits, RBIs or both.
I don't get baseballs signed because I don't care for signatures. The only items I have signed are only because they came that way with the exception of one item. I have never gotten onboard with signed items. Having an item that was used is great, I never saw value in having them write on it. I realize I am definitely in the minority on that one.Russell Wuerffel

Re: Game Used Hit Baseball Collection
I agree, for my benefit I have found several Chris Sale Strike out balls. I have even picked up one from his 1 hitter on mothers day in 12' or 13' cant remember the year I will have to look. It was actually labeled pitch in the dirt and the only pitch in the dirt was for strike 3. You could see on mlb tv that the catcher flipped it to the ball boy and got a new ball. I will write down who fouled it back and inning ect when I go to a game so I can try and pick it up later. I found a few last year from his 15K game against the cubs and one was a Bryant K.
