I am sure you know, but the Major League Baseball season is in clear jeopardy. There are a number of possibilities of what may happen this season, that includes playing in Arizona, playing in Arizona and Florida, playing in stadiums without fans… and potentially not playing at all. But before we dive into that, lets…
We just got renderings of two baseballs that will be used in international series this year! The Dominican Republic game will be an exhibition during spring training, and the Mexico Series will take place during the regular season. I am satisfied with the look of both of these baseballs. This ball is pretty simplistic, but…
2020, like every year of baseball, is set to be a fun one. As commemoratives become more popular around the game, we are starting to see more and more of them pop up! Follow this post all season to see every single baseball used! It will be updated as more are announced and as more…
The Minnesota Twins will celebrate their 60th season as the Twins this upcoming season at Target Field. It is somewhat uncommon to see a team celebrate their “60th season” vs “60th Anniversary” for example. The difference sounds small, but the Twins 60th Anniversary would be next season.

I just received a photo of the baseball they will be using this season. It is not the best photo, but I am working on getting something better and when I do, i’ll update this post immediately. As we take a look at the baseball, the logo size is small consistent with what we’ve seen,…
The first commemorative baseballs for 2020 have dropped! The spring training baseballs for the Grapefruit and Cactus league are out, and they look absolutely fantastic. The “Official 2020 Spring Training” stamping with Rob Manfred’s signature stays the same as previous years, with only the date changing. Also the same as last year is the actual…
As expected, the Pittsburgh Pirates will be using a commemorative baseball for the 60th Anniversary of Blass’ involvement with the Pirates. A long career in MLB, and a longer career in the booth. He will be retiring after this final weekend of the season when the Bucs play the Cincinnati Reds. I am pretty sure…
Guest article written by Tom O’Reilly Commemorative/anniversary/special event baseballs are a small but important piece of a sports memorabilia business that has ballooned to $5.4 billion annually according to one industry executive. How is it decided which anniversaries and events to celebrate with a commemorative baseball? What goes into those decisions? Why might a team choose not…
As you can see in the photo above, the Edgar Martinez baseball was finally used this past weekend, and the logo is absolutely tiny. Not to be unexpected, but this one might be the smallest we’ve ever seen. When we look at the logo, we can see a few things. First of all, we see…
With the reveal of the 2020 ASG logo at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, I have been searching for the baseball since then. Big thanks to Bret Nelson (@bnelson9 on Twitter) for getting these pics for met at Dodger Stadium today!! The logo is very very small, but that is to be expected. The multicolored stitching…
