Thanks, guys. It all started with me wondering if these balls were available for Curt Flood to have signed one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CURT-FLOOD-J...vip=true&rt=nc

If you look at the third picture in the description (the one with LaSorda & Pudge on the panel), you'll see the faint remnants of what appears to be printing on the ball tied to a specific event (in other wods, it isn't a "generic" Gold Glove baseball).

Looks good to me.

My bad, I meant the panel with LaRussa (not LaSorda)

Andrew,
The 2007 year is based on my collection of GG Award autograph baseballs.If you were to buy a dozen GG baseballs online right now, you get the 2007 version.
Regards,
Joel

I got you. Thanks for the clarification.

Curt Flood died in January 1997. Good detective work.

Good eye.

Without asking the seller, I believe this is 1993 GGA Dinner baseball.

Here is a listing shows a Johnny Bench special award from that year.

I believe these were the people in attendance at the dinner. It makes sense as Johnny Bench is on the sweet spot and Jay Bell won his first and only award in 1993.

So its not a baseball offered to the public but an event baseball.


Still would love to know when those public baseballs were first offered to the public.
