Return Balls?
 

Posted By: <b>martindl</b><p><br />I picked up a nice ca 1875 trade card advertising "Base Balls, Base Ball Bats, Return Balls"<br /><br />Does anyone know whether 'Return Balls' were related to Base Ball and if so, what were they?

Return Balls?
 

Posted By: <b>pete</b><p>i've heard that back in the day, baseballs were hard to come by, so either ballfields or teams would ask the fans to return foulballs and in return they would be given some type of coupon for another game....i've heard 1/2 off the ticket price...
