That's been 20+ years ago though. Haven't come across a non-standard Cal League ball since at least the early 90's.

A team partly owned by Kevin Costner was accused of using inferior balls a few years back and the game was called. They were getting their baseballs from a local sporting goods store to save money. I'm pretty sure that all minor leagues now use Rawlings baseballs.
