Question about the baseballs used in the 77 World Series?
Hope someone can help. I know in 1977 Rawlings started to make the baseballs for MLB. So it is very unlikely that a spalding made ball was used in the World Series. Know a guy who has a ball he swears he caught in game 6 of the 1977 World Series. Has vintage faded writing on it saying how Yankees Beat Dodgers 1977 World Series 4 games to 2 and date on sweet spot NY Yankees October 1977, but it is a spalding ball. He said it was a foul ball, I kinda believe his story, really no reason to lie as he not selling it, just sitting on his shelf. I'm thinking it maybe was a batting practice foul ball? Any thoughts? Thanks.
