2008 Yankee Stadium game used balls

[Mr. Zipper]

Were these ever used outside of Yankee Stadium... at a Yankee away game?

Seems unlikely, but I thought there might be a possibility they were used when the Yankees went on the road (for marketing purposes).



Any idea?

I've heard of teams that were not associated with the event using commemorative baseballs for batting practice. For example, the Twins may have a few Dodger Stadium 50th anniversary baseballs in their batting practice buckets.

Thanks for the info.

I am looking at a ball that is autographed "game used," but the date and inscription indicate it was a road game in 2008. The autograph and inscription are undoubtedly authentic.

So, either the 2008 Yankee ball was used in a road game, or the person who signed the ball made a mistake and inscribed the ball incorrectly. I'm concerned it is the latter.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES was a Yankee Stadium Final season 2008 commemorative baseball used in ANY OTHER STADIUM for an MLB game besides Yankee Stadium.

There is no grey area here.

Thanks, Ken.
