The bat has heavy barrel use, great tar and look. I moved one of my other Brett bats and replaced it with this one, as it is also unique in that it comes with a signed provenance letter from Nolan Ryan, who received the bat directly from Brett to sell and raise funds for his foundation.
I grabbed career baseball #1808 today during a Rangers long toss session at the Cell, and it came with a surprise. I don't know how many other MLB teams are doing this since this was my first game of the year, but Texas was using at least some 2016 Spring Training Baseballs (with the Arizona version of the Interstate road sign) in this drill. That's what I got, and it was a once game-used baseball on top of it (mud rub and surface wear). GUU members going to early season BP sessions might want to be on the lookout for these (or the Florida version).

In Oakland the White Sox were using the spring training baseballs to warm up the outfielders between innings and also to warm up the relief pitchers in the bullpen during the opening series. they were using "practice" baseballs for batting practice.
Using special baseballs during batting practice and in bullpens is common. I have gotten or people around me have gotten many special balls over the years.

The Blue Jays and Rays were using the FL balls during Opening Series BP.
