Interesting thread... my little brother got the ball Jacoby Ellsbury caught to save John Lester's no-hitter on Monday. I would think that would be worth something if he could get it authenticated... either way it is a great souvenir for a great kid.

North Metro Tech.....then I'm going to transfer most-likely to Kennesaw State University. I don't think they have baseball there, but in June I'm heading to southern Georgia to try-out for the minor leagues.....scouts from all 30 teams are gonna be there.

Maybe you should fill out an application It was the 7th and they panned on Smoltz at the end of the inning...

Re: Got a nice piece of history last night....

I've wondered about this... What do you do if you caught a HR ball, or in Kyle's case were tossed a ball from a significant event?? How do you get it authenticated at the park? Are there people on staff that can do this?? Do you approach an usher?? I'd like to know, just in case Im ever lucky enough to be in that position.

I really don't think anybody at the stadium would do anything to authenticate it. The ushers especially.....they don't even know what it is. I went inside the Braves store at Turner Field and asked if they had any game worn jerseys,,,after repeating myself FOUR times, the guy acted like he understood me and brought me to the other end of the store where they had brand new authentic jerseys. It took me another minute to explain to him that I was looking for the jerseys worn by the players, not the same-style ones worn by the players. Almost everybody that works there is like that.
