I had a few minor league and major league balls autographed as a kid, including a Ron Kittle (whoo hoo!) HR ball I retrieved.

I'd spend hours in our large backyard belting baseballs back and forth and used to lose a large number of baseball, softballs, tennis balls, golf balls and whatever else I could swing a bat at, in the woods.

Inevitably, I'd run out of balls and would have to grab one of the cherished (or not so much I guess) balls to keep me busy in the yard, eventually gunking it up, and losing it to.

If my Dad was a collector and had something valuable like a Ruth or Cobb or Mantle, I would have probably pilfered that at some point to. Just part of being a kid in the outdoor age.
