    Re: Astros Chris Johnson Home Run balls 300.00

    I think is safe to say ... with only 11 career hrs ....there are none .

    I guess if one landed in bullpen , ( I see a lot from Detroit ) , or
    bounced back onto the field and found its way to the authenticator ,
    ( doubtful ) .


    Maybe the one hit in St Louis to center field , which was picked up by security , was saved ?

    I think I have a ticket from July 19th if you want it ...I usually save some from each game .

    Ballhwak,

    They do exist! 3 of his 11 were MLB authenticated in 2010.

    This was #9, his longest HR to date

    Hologram number FJ143106 was located in the MLB Authentication Database under GAME-USED BASEBALL.

    That is amazing. Chris B., awesome find on the hologram! What do the Astros do with a ball like that after the authenticator gets it?

    I know some teams will give it to the player, some sell them, and some keep them for marketing giveaways.

    Andrew,

    The Astros usually sell them, unless it is a significant milestone. Lately, the Astros have tried to retrieve the First Career HR balls for the young guys. Of course, the Authenticator will only authenticate if it did NOT go into the stands. Sometimes the authentication detail is awesome and the authenticator watches everyone that touches the ball.

    wow

    I was sure wrong there ... lol

    I just figured any ball bouncing back on the field the opposition would
    just toss into the stands.

    Cool find and good luck locating any of those Johnson Hrs.
