Nah. The ball is a "replica," too.

How can you tell? If he's replicating balls why put a major league hall of famer signature on a replica Worth Ball? Why not go all out and put it on a Spalding or Reach?

I was basing my statement on other replicas I have seen. But I believe you're correct, Dan--it probably is a genuine Worth ball.

It's not, definitely fake. It's a pitching machine ball, he's re-stamping them with off brand logo's. Check his feedback, he buys them in the dozens.

I like the fact that he initialed and dated the ball himself where it wont affect the look.

Interesting...I didn't know anyone out there was making red/blue stitch baseballs. I wonder how he roughs them up?

You can still buy 1984 Olympic balls with red and blue stitching

I still think that Worth ball is an actual vintage Worth ball...if you go to the trouble of making repro autograph balls why a Worth baseball instead of Spalding or Reach? He's not trying to fool anyone so why not make it with an actual major league brand?
