Default Has anyone seen/owned a Hall of Fame Induction Ball?
That might not be the official name of the ball, but in the HOF thread, I told you about me being a college basketball beat writer and I sit next to longtime Reds beat writer and 2003 J.G. Taylor Spink Award winner Hal McCoy. Last night was Hal's last basketball game he covers this season as he leaves for Reds Spring Training on Saturday for four weeks. Before the game ended, he gave me a signed ball on the sweet spot and on the bottom panel it says Hal McCoy 2003 Hall of Fame and the date of the induction weekend. He told me that only 500 are made. Does anyone own any of these? It's very neat, but I am hesitant to post a picture because they look like they could be easily duplicated in this day in age. Just curious if anyone else owns one?

Thanks,
Matt
