What was the story on the 8 1 6 baseballs?

I'd love those stage lights.

Martin,
Oh yeah...those baseballs...I saw those right about the end and zeroed right in...Seller said he'd had them about 20 years...didn't know what they were for...said bought in...I think he said an estate sale in CT....or somewhere in New England....made out of galvanized sheet...looked maybe 30's...I think they were like $100.00 or $175.00 for all....they were cool but just couldn't get behind them...What was I gonna do...lay out $150.00 and store them like he had for 20 years...then bring them out to the Rose Bowl again LOL...I suppose there may have been other numbers originally...You can see the cloth and wire handles on the back of one....so they may have been used to display the score....maybe by some mascot babes or something...just don't know....very folk artish...I liked them but just couldn't ascertain the meaning behind them...

Yeah I see stage lights like those now and then at fleas in California...especially in So Cal..
