Re: game used baseballs....your favorite

This is a tough one but my favorite is my 2004 ALDS Game 4 GU ball autographed by Mariano Rivera. Mariano pitched two scoreless innings to get the win in extra innings.

Speaking of Mariano, Jerry Colangelo has the ball Luis Gonzalez hit off of Rivera to win the '01 World Series, but I'd settle for the ball Rivera threw into Center Field, between Jeter's glove and Dave Dellucci's face, to put runners on 1st and 2nd with nobody out. (I asked Dellucci if he saw that ball sail past his face, and he smiled and said, "No, but I heard it!")

I have 2 game used baseballs from game 6 of the 2003 ALCS Yankees vs. Red Sox. MLB authenticated. Pretty cool.

Re: game used baseballs....your favorite

Currently I have two game used baseballs I am proud to own. They are both game used balls from the 2007 Futures game.

-The first one is the actual ball Adrian Cardenas hit for a bloop single in the 6th inning for his only hit in his only at-bat of the game. The cool thing is that he comments on that at-bat in an interview and talks about how that experience is a great one for his development.

-The second one is a ball I just got in today! It is the actual ball that Clayton Kershaw pitched to strikeout Elvis Andrus in the 7th inning! The details read as follows:
Session Product Description: GAME USED BALL
Additional Information: PITCHED BY KERSHAW TO ANDRUS IN 7TH INNING (STRIKE OUT/BALL IN DIRT)

Pretty cool!

those balls that are not only game used, but detailed right down to the event of the ball are just great....true collector pieces in my opinion.
