2009 World Series Game Used Baseball

Yeah, if it is not not MLB authenticated I would get it signed then. Nice keepsake from the game.

Is the ball MLB authenticated?

I am not sure what difference it makes if the ball is mlb authenticated? Anybody want to sure what the negative side would be of having an mlb authenticated WS foul ball signed by the man who hit it?

Will he sign a game-used ball at the Warm Up? My understanding was he is only signing photos and new, unused baseballs, since game-used equipment falls under his contract with UDA. I could be wrong about that.

I have a 1998 Jackie Robinson Commemorative game used baseball signed by Alex Rodriguez and its barely present any longer. I bought it like this. Is there a reason why a game used baseball will not hold up as good as say a baseball right out of the box? I have it totally out of the light since I bought and it does not seem to have deteriorated any further.

To answer you question. I would have him sign it on the sweet spot but if I display it I would have the WS logo facing the light. It would also depend on the cost of getting it signed.

Usually if it is signed on a Game Used Ball it holds up a lot better than a ball out of the box. Possibly the reason for your ball is since it was used for a specific game maybe they used a poorer quality leather for those balls since they were just made for one game. Just a thought.

i have a signed game used baseball that looks perfect from 1996, so maybe the previous owner had it displayed in the light or maybe, as you said, maybe its the quality of the leather. i will take a look at it when i have the chance. thanks

I have never seen/heard of it being an issue before. I would think since its a ball he will sign it. Probably not a bad idea to have a back up plan though, you never know with him. I have never read anything specifying new, unused baseballs.

Since it is a baseball I believe he will sign it but I know he hates nothing more than thinking someone is a dealer looking to turn profit so it just depends on what kind of mood he is in.
