I think that's a super cool ball, especially for the price you paid, I would have grabbed it if I saw it.

That having been said, I believe it to be a fantasy piece, you can see lines under where much of the printing is.

And for the record, Ramon's full name to Dodgers fans is Ramon "you should have listened to me about my brother" Martinez.

I remembered seeing other Dodger ball at auction with similar markings. Here's one:

Thank you Rick for sharing. The numbers 18 and 20 looks to be done by the same person.

I was looking through some auction catalogs and found this ball from the Vin Scully collection. Similar style as far as the red number goes.

The ball is hand painted, not printed. Those lines would have been guide lines to keep the printing straight. Common practice to use pencil lines when hand printing an item.

My use of the word "printing" is a semantics issue.

Doug,

True. I was thinking that some may believe it was actually printed like many of those commemorative balls rather that the fantasy one off piece that it is.

I would also agree that John Kay was a fantasy one off...
