I'm wondering if the same baseball was used throughout most of the game back then and that foul balls and homeruns were retreived from the fans? Does anybody know when the transition occured when they started letting the fans keep the balls that went out of play?

I'm pretty sure that as late as 1930 teams were still pressing charges against fans who didn't return foul balls. I know that there were teams who let the fans keep foul balls at their home stadium, but I don't think that became the norm until the late 1920s/early 1930s.
Not sure if the rule applied to home runs. Last edited by packs; 07-31-2011 at 02:03 PM.
