Game used baseball collection

[VandyCards]

This may not be surprising, but I have 50 Tony Kemp hit balls.

Also probably 50 other Vandy/Baltimore related balls.

MLB auctions just listed some game used postseason balls. There is one from the 2010 World Series (game 2.)

Also for the guy looking for stuff from the 2021 World Series, there are I think four balls on there from that series.

Good luck!

Acuna fly ball and Markakis foul from 2019.

Gonna check on those 2021 WS balls. Thanks for the heads up.

[PuddleMonkey]

Those are some good looking balls.

I have a Volpe single from a spring training game against the Blue Jays this year. I picked it up in the Blue Jays store in Dunedin before the Yankees announced he was going to be the starting shortstop.

I also have a Yankees game used baseball I bought at the 2022 National from Fanatics to get a free Aaron Judge poster. Nothing spectacular about the ball when I looked it up.

I bought my Son a Bo Bichette foul ball this year at the Orioles store when we went to the Blue Jays - Orioles game.

^some cool stuff.

I collect game used items, but focus more on bats and jerseys. This is the only ball I have. It is an out from the 2008 Home Run Derby from Dan Uggla. It was out 3 in the first round. I didn't really care about who the ball was hit from. I more wanted a ball from the last derby at old Yankee Stadium.

My best GU ball is Wil Myers double in the 2016 ASG that was in SD

[rittdk01]

Shadowsonic that is a great collection!

Padremurph very cool


Went to the Braves White Sox game yesterday. This is a Jared Kelenic single from the game.

I don't have a picture and I don't have proof, but I do have the ball hit by the estimable David Hulse for his only home run of 1994 (1/1 ball). David was a role-player for the Rangers in the 90s, a bit of a fan favorite but basically the poor man's Rusty Greer. Best known for this ridiculous sequence.
