Well surprise surprise. As of writing this, it is 7/18/22 at around 7:00 Eastern time, just one hour from the Home Run Derby, and minutes after batting practice ended at Dodger Stadium. I was keeping an eye on what was being used out of pure curiosity, and then I saw what was used, and it…
2023 Update: Added the rest of the season items, minus some retail baseballs Baseball. Is. Back. I, like many of you, was deprived of news during the lockout, and that is why this preview is so late. I have been scrambling to contact my sources and reach out to those in the know to bring…
The Philadelphia Phillies announced they will be using a baseball to commemorate retiring Roy Halladay’s number on Sunday, August 8th. It will be a busy weekend for them, as the day before they will be using the Wall of Fame commemorative for their yearly induction. As for style, we have no photos yet, but I…
Earlier today renders for the first three commemorative baseballs of 2021 were released! The Braves 150th and Angels 60th anniversary baseballs were expected, but the Salt River Fields 10th anniversary baseball came as a little bit of a surprise, especially since it was announced that there would be no standard spring training commemoratives. As a…
In what was hopefully going to be the first commemorative baseballs of the 2021 season, it has been revealed that there will be no Spring Training commemoratives for the 2021 season. This will be the first season since 2015 without a Spring Training commemorative, as the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues from 2016-2020 used one yearly….
The unfortunate news has been confirmed by team officials to me, there will be no Postseason commemorative used in 2020. This will be the first Postseason since 2011 that does not use one. I believe that this is due to the expansion of the Postseason to include the new Wild Card Series, and there not…
The 2021 All Star Game logo was released earlier this week and with it the baseball came out. Here’s a look at the logo: And here’s a photo of the ball itself! This ball in my opinion looks fantastic! The multicolored stitching of navy and red is expected, those are the two main colors of…
In today’s (9/3/2020) 4:05 game, the Philadelphia Phillies will be using this baseball as they commemorate the number retirement of Dick Allen. The logo itself is very simple, just a large “15” and “Allen”, probably one of if not the simplest number retirement balls made. I like the look of it, its sharp, and its…
In a year full of uncertainty, baseball is FINALLY back! Of course, with baseball being back, means commemoratives are back. I will go out and say immediately that there are big question marks concerning commemoratives for this season, and I have absolutely zero confirmation of anything being used past this 2020 Opening Day baseball. We’re…
My first longer informational article from a few weeks ago about cancelled commemoratives seemed to be really well enjoyed. I figured I might as well write some more articles until baseball is back, and until there’s more new commemorative baseball news and action. I was considering what to write about, and someone brought up a…
