But what would he dip in it?

Is it possible to dip balls in balls?

jimq112

Mike, that's nice. Condition is just right - they didn't have ball cubes back then!

Here's my only ford frick baseball - it's signed by some of the 1937 jersey city giants of the international league, and their manager, HOF Travis Jackson.

DrJ

A few of my favorites....

Lee's still around? The mods are slippin'.

I've posted this one before, but it's the only one I got... Jose Cardenal, a childhood favorite.




Edited to add: And Donovan provided me the display case in which it resides... free of charge. So, he rocks.

Umm... that was when I thought I wouldnt buy anymore. I need it back. lol Went back to the toy shop that head them for .50 and they were $4.00. I think someone slipped on pricing the day I was there.

zep33

Got this at his camp in 1979 or 1980

hofautos

Goot

Not as good as some of those guys above but in 20 years, a few of these guys will be the HOFers people will be paying $100 for.

Mattingly


:hoping I don't get booed or beer thrown on me: Bud Selig...Commisioner of baseball, now through 2012


I have 2 of these Kazmirs now....


Evan Longoria...nice signature from a young guy.


La Russa that I got when I was a wee little lad.


Bob Boone on a Florida State League ball he gave me back when he was an instructor in the minors.


Some of team Australia from the 2006 World Baseball Classic. Little did I know that the autograph at the top would be the surprise rookie hurler for the Braves a month from then.....Peter Moylan. The Dominican Rep. side was too crazy with the names of Pujols, Ortiz, Tejada, Pena, Pedro Martinez, etc. so I went over to the Aussie side and got about 8 autos. Can't wait until next year!!!


Ryan Zimmerman


Delmon Young. Now I can see why he skipped college and went straight to the MLB with that signature


Francoeur


Andruw that I got about 4 years ago, so that explains the sharpie. At least I got it on a OMLB though. But still, stupid 13 year old.....


Carl Crawford....I have dos.


Jim Palmer... I found him wandering around Tropicana Field when the O's were in town. Pretty funny when a (then) 16 year old recognized him and all the 40 year olds were asking me who it was after he signed for me.


My latest addition from this spring (shouldn't be the last with me seeing the Braves twice in the coming weeks)....David Price with the inscription #1 overall that I asked for.


Mike Alstott


Ike Hilliard

very nice collection you got going Goot. Lots of really cool balls in this thread.

I gotta take some pictures of some more of mine. Got a fun, mixed ball from a golf tournament signed by people from all sports and few celebs.

Here's the only other one I have on my PC at the moment:



Wakefield from last season

ajw

The most worthy person eligible, but not yet elected, to the Hall of Fame.

jimq112

Pitcher and hitter from the "shot heard round the world"

Goot

<< <i>very nice collection you got going Goot.
Wakefield from last season >>



Thanks a lot man. The best thing about them is that I've gotten every single one of those in person except for Selig.

Nice Wakefield, that's one that I need to add to my collection. I need to figure out a local appearance he's making or something because his prices on ebay are crazy!!

zep33

spring training 1981


Nomar from the Cape League 93 or 94? don't remember, whatever year he was here



Aaron Boone same year, same ball. kind of ironic with what came to finish off our season in 03

ajw

<< <i>Pitcher and hitter from the "shot heard round the world"

That's a great ball. I love that it's yellowed, as you can tell it wasn't signed at a show in 2006.

zep33

got my golf tournament ball photos taken. I have the program that lists most of the guys and I had a list at some point but have no clue where it is atm. Mike Schmidt wouldn't sign the ball because of his contract with Upper Deck but signed the program with complete scribble and came out crappy.

Tommy John, Dave McNally, and Rick Rhoden


Gary "US" Bonds, Jeremy Roenick, Cam Neely


Ed Westfall, Chuck Cecil, Bobby Grich


Ken Harrelson, Jon Barry, Phil Simms


And the sweet spot - Gene Mauch


I know I got Bryant Gumbel (no idea why) on the ball too but not sure which one he is. Jan Stennerud (sp?) I think is on it somewhere

Stone193

<< <i>Stone- Game used? >>

No - just old - like me.

But here's a ball that I picked up a few years ago - it's a GU 3000th hit game ball of G. Brett. It's PSA/DNA including signed letter from the ump that the ball was used in the game.



A Brett collector will especially like this item - I would think.

mike

jerster

How 'bout some nuts?

TNTonPMS

I think any baseball fan would love that baseball !

That's a nice piece of baseball history

1 Reggie 78 Yankees

SlangNRox

82 Orioles team ball (signed in 1982, not a 're-do' from collecting them individually years after 1982), Ripken Rookie year, also has Cal Ripken Sr., and for some reason, Brooks Robinson signed it too (retired the year before, but was announcing in 1982). I also have a signed baseball card of each player, and I tried to get cards that had signatures about the same age as the ball.
