Texture damage to baseballs

[Sivart31]

Hey All,

Not sure if this is the right spot.

I just took some of my stuff out of storage. The baseball were stored in a Mahogany case and many of the balls had this super odd texture to them. It looked like there were little grains of rice inside the ball. Has anyone seen this before? Apologies as the picture won't load. Also, what is the best treatment for spotting? Luckily, these weren't super rare items, so fairly common, inexpensive hofers - although it looks like a Strasburg ball and a Whitey Ford have been ruined.

Apologies as the pics won't load properly.

Thanks,
MT

Can't answer about the texture, but when a ball starts spotting, about all you can do is cross your fingers that it doesn't get ugly splotchy.

If they're Rawlings balls that have "Haiti" placed under the logo, they're going to yellow and there isn't anything you can do about it.

They didn't use distilled water during manufacturing and the enzymes slowly turn some of the balls completely yellow over time.
