Let's See Some Baseballs!

The last hit ball I personally secured was on 9/9/14, at Comiskey Park (aka US Cellular Field) in a 11-2 Oakland rout of the White Sox. Alberto Callaspo of Oakland ripped a shot off a John Danks pitch that bounced once in left field and hopped over the wall into the White Sox bullpen, where one of the relief pitchers gave it to me. It was my first-ever MLB ground-rule double and my second pro double (the first was at a game at Kane County in 1992 when Alex Ochoa hit a line shot that rolled under the fence and out of the park in left-center field). I wish I could post a photo of both, but I have no equipment to do so.

I just purchased this from an antique dealer in Montgomery, AL. No idea as to the date that can be attributed to it...it reads "Giants 7 Crakers (sic) 5". This would make it from the early 50's I would suspect. I thought it was a neat find.
