Anyone know about red baseballs????
 
Posted By: <b>Rob L</b><p>Picked this baseball up and it has numerous areas on the ball that shows that it was originally red. The only baseballs that I know about that were red were the Peck and Snyder "Dead ball". Anyone know if there were other red colored baseballs?<BR><BR><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1087316808.JPG">

Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>As someone who grew up near Jay's Minnesota, we used to play baseball in winter-- using a white baaseball! Not a smart thing. I don't know who had it worse, the pitcher who had to hold the frozen ball with his bare hand or the hitter who had to trust the accuracy of the pitcher thowing an slippery ball.
