Maybe it's just a personal preference. BUT I don't trust anything on a cheap ball.. Especially, in the case of a guy like Koufax...If you had a chance to get Koufax to sign something, why not spend the extra couple of bucks on a legit ball?
"Hey hunny, Koufax is signing today, can you run out to the Wal-mart and pick me up one of those little league balls, and a fresh pack of under-shirts."
To an extent, I can understand seeing guys like Alvaro Espinosa, Casey Candaele, Jose Offerman, Doug Strange, Razor Shines, Todd Benzinger and Steve Balboni on junk balls.. MAYBE even a modern star, who may not have been expect to amount to much while in the minors. But BIG name players, who have been well established already? It just doesn't make sense..
