My parents went out to a game with my aunt and uncle back in '62. This was caught, then given to me by my uncle. My brother once took it outside to play with. A couple of decades later, one of my sons took it out to play with also. Today it survives and is out of the reach of my 3 grandsons.

Here's a pic of my game used Yankees ball, game was April 17th 1962 against the Baltimore Orioles. Whitey Ford threw the ball to the policeman who was standing in the dugout, person I bought the ball from. He stated that Mantle and Maris was bumming cigarettes from him all game. Ball was authenticated by JSA.............

This baseball was the final pitch of a game on June 15th, 1926 between the A's and the Indians. Rube Walberg had just won his 15th career game by throwing a complete game shutout. HOFer Joe Sewell makes the last out.

Here's one more shot of the Navin Field ball from Ruth's 700 HR game -- this shows the date inscribed on a side panel.
Alos included here is a ball from the Jake Stenzel family -- said to be his last HR ball, and a ball from the 1934 World Series hit by Pepper Martin.

I don't collect GU balls but did pick this one up - it was affirmed by the home plate ump to be one of the balls used in the game when George Brett hit his 3000th hit.

Now I see that it's Greg who has been outbidding me on some of these!!

Here are some of my Wynn win baseballs. I have the ball from his 2000th strikeout, but it's out of reach.

Also a ball used in a WWII service game that Bob Feller pitched in and one that Red Evans pitched in (signed beautifully by him on the other side.)

I know, I've posted these before, but I'm proud of them.
