Show off YOUR game used baseballs...

Re: Show off YOUR game used baseballs...

I only have a few, but this one is my favorite commemorative ball I have seen.

You only have a few commemorative balls, or a few of those Nationals balls?

Those Nationals balls from 2005 and 2008 are hard to come by. I know they are out there. I had a chance to buy one from Zimmerman's first MLB hit game and the seller said he had one with a less smudged logo so I held off. Then I never heard from him again. I finally got a hold of the 2003 Yankees ball though so that is one off my list.

The first GU logo baseball I personally caught was in Cleveland, 2 days before my Bret Boone HR catch at Wrigley Field. A pregame rain had thinned out the crowd at Jacobs Field, so, when the game started, I snuck down to an unoccupied front row seat down the third base line. An inning or 2 later, Jose Canseco buggywhips a line drive off the tarp on the third base line. The ballboy bails out, seeing the speed of the ball. It shoots a path just inches above the ground, where I lean over the wall and spear it at that level. Crowd reaction was very positive.

I only have a few balls. One being my first and only caught foul ball from 2005, a few bp balls, a few FSL balls, and the Nats ball that I got for a steal of a price at around $25. I don't really like collecting baseballs unless it's a commemorative ball from the Mets or Nats. I just need a Shea and Citi ball and then I'm done.

That is a steal of a price. The Shea and Citi balls are easy to find, just not a good price. I contacted a rep from the Mets and he said there prices are negotiable, but it takes him a week to get back to me so I am hoping to pick up a Citi ball for around $50 since I already have a Shea.

Dave,

When was the last time the Indians had a commemorative logo ball? Was it the ball they used in 1997 commemorating them hosting the All-Star game?

Here's my only ball. Foul ball from a Padres game at Jack Murphy. Wish I would have written down what game. Giamatti ball too.

Game-used baseball from the 2007 All Star Game where Ichiro became
the first player to hit an inside-the-park-home-run in an All Star game
and also 1st Japanese player to win All Star MVP. Got it signed and
inscribed MVP. One of my favorites.

Ball hit for single by Albert Pujols in game 3 of 2009 NLDS. MLB holo number LH642411. Would be curious to know if anyone else knows of a authenticated Pujols post season hit. I have not seen another.

Got it from the Cardinals last year, they had a few balls from the series for sale on their website. Nice thing about it was I didn't even have to pay any kind of premium.

The one I caught was the 1994 Inaugural Year of Jacobs Field logo ball.
