Default My new balls - whoa!


We have a Hot Stove every year here in Williamsport as a charity fundraiser. Tim Kirkjian and Mike Mussina headlined this year.

MLB donated these autographed balls. 1 signed by NL All Star team and the other by the AL team. The NL ball is loaded with Ohtani, Skenes, Elly, etc.

I won the auction for them. Not sure on exact value but I know I did well.

Still can’t believe it!

Your balls are really incredible. Thank you for taking a picture and sharing with us. I have really enjoyed looking at them. Do you have any additional close ups of them?

So would it be correct to say you have two of the biggest balls of them all ?

I don't think they are any bigger. Just nicer than ours.

Great balls. Be careful how you hold them, or how you let other men hold them.

Those are amazing. What did you pay for them, if you don't mind me asking?

It's best to keep those balls tucked away from the light -- you don't want them getting exposed for all to see.

Great balls!

Would you let someone touch or cradle your balls for a small one-time fee?
