Default Wanna see my (base) balls?


1890 Penn vs Lehigh Trophy Ball

Sterling plated 1909 American League Ball TrophyTop

This one has the most character to me because it has the brown tobbaco colored staining all over it, as mentioned in Glory of there Times, and other historic accounts, where the players would pass the ball around, and spit tobacco juice all over the ball, to make it harder for the batter to see and hit. It has alternating black and white stitching.
The hand is a porcelain cast I had made of my own hand to hold baseballs.
