Dale Long game used ball
Not a real thrilling story but is kinda neat...
A few months ago I saw a game used ball on Ebay. It's a Warren Giles NL ball. It has the notation that it was a foul tip from Dale Long of the Pirates. I know Dale was the first guy to homer in 8 consecutive games which is the record and has been tied twice by Mattingly and Griffey Jr. The ball was also dated 5/29/56. Upon researching the date it turns out that the date was the game after his 8th consecutive HR game. If he had gotten better hold of this foul tip it could have been nine games! LOL. Just seemed pretty neat to me. Last edited by mcgwirecom; 11-07-2010 at 11:20 AM.
