Billy Hamilton's 12th career stolen base ball
Jim Thome's final career hit

Re: Lowest career # hit GU baseball taht you have?

Also, conversely.... what would be the last career hit baseball for a certain retired player that you have?

Perhaps guys like Johnny Damon, Omar Vizquel, Griffey Jr., Sheffield, Vladimir, Manny, Todd Helton, etc....

I can't speak for hits in general, but Ballhawk Rich Buhrke caught both the final MLB HRs of Bobby Bonds and Terry Steinbach.

Re: Lowest career # hit GU baseball taht you have?

I think my lowest ones are

Cole Figueroa career hit #4
Kevin Kiermaier career hit #12
Brandon Guyer Career hit #33

I was able to get them all autographed on the sweet spot as well.

Dee Gordon's #3 hit baseball; he also got his first SB right after the #3 hit. Gordon himself got the first two hit baseballs.

Re: Lowest career # hit GU baseball taht you have?

I have Jimmy Rollins career World Series hit #1. I know postseason hits don't fall into the same category as regular season hits but I thought it was a nice one to have for my collection.

Re: Lowest career # hit GU baseball taht you have?

I'm not much of a game used baseball guy, I only have two in my collection, but one is Jeff Samardzija's 16th career hit (3rd career double) used baseball. The funny thing is being a pitcher's hit ball I didn't really think of doing the research on this baseball until I saw this thread!

Re: Lowest career # hit GU baseball taht you have?

I had the opportunity to get a players first hit, but it was a pitchers so I didn't really think it was worth the price.

Re: Lowest career # hit GU baseball taht you have?

Neat thread. Nothing too crazy here but a few that come to mind:

• Brett Lawrie's 29th hit (5th double, 18th RBI, game winner)
• Devin Mesoraco's 43rd hit (11th double) off Roy Halladay
• Homer Bailey's 3rd career extra base hit inscribed "better lucky than good"
• Yonder Alonso's 22nd hit (6th double) off Chris Carpenter
• Bryce Harper's 98th hit (17th double)
• Billy Hamilton's 20th hit and 20th stolen base (auth to SB, evidence to hit on prior pitch)
• Francisco Cervelli's 129th hit
• Johnny Cueto's 21st career hit (Dodger commemorative baseball)
• Eric Thames' 73rd career hit
• Evan Longoria 558th hit (not particularly early, but 2011 is early among his I've seen)

and on the other end of the spectrum:

• Edgar Renteria's final HR

Re: Lowest career # hit GU baseball taht you have?

A little stretch...... But I have a game used bat from Adam Greenberg.....his only appearance was with the Chicago Cubs...first pitch hit him in the head and ended his career.

Re: Lowest career # hit GU baseball taht you have?

Nick Castellanos career hit #7.

Re: Lowest career # hit GU baseball taht you have?

Not exactly what you mean, but I own Shelby Miller's first HBP the ball he plunked Ryan Hanigan of the Cincinnati Reds.

Re: Lowest career # hit GU baseball taht you have?

I own Joe Bensons second career hit baseball(first career double). Also own the bat that hit it and was also used for his first mlb hit.

[jake33]

On the game used hit baseballs in your collection, what is the lowest career hit that you have?

Does anyone have a certain player's #2 career hit baseball?
I say #2, because I would assume the first career hit almost always goes to the player's dugout for him, unless it was an un-retrieved homerun ball.
