What does MLB do with used Angel game balls?

by CaliEMT on Jul 2, 2009 4:43 AM PDT Comment 10 comments

I have been looking for a used Angels Stadium game ball. I have never been lucky enough to catch one (almost caught one that Dino threw near me but it bounced off my finger tip). Is there a place where you can buy a used baseball from an Angel home game? All I can seem to find are baseballs with autographs. They go through an amazing amount of baseballs, someone has to be selling them!

Thanks for the help :)

WOW

A foul ball is worth that much. No wonder you see a homeless looking, mullet wearing, redneck running around with the kids to chase them down.

Thank you for the reply. I know its weird but I was hoping for balls from an Angels home game. I no longer live in California and I would just love to actually have a ball from Anaheim =) (also was hoping they wouldn’t be crazy expensive).

Regular

Game-Used baseballs can be purchased for $15 from the “Art of the Game” store at the stadium. They money goes to the Angels Foundation (charity). The balls are dated, so you know what game they are from, and come in a cube.

perfect response. sweet!

I thought they were sold somewhere in the stadium but didn’t really know where. figures it’s Art of the Game (home of 3rd-base-coach game-used jerseys).

I have also seen particular balls for auction on mlb.com, (i.e. “Juan Rivera Home Run #273”) but these are very infrequent. and authenticated, but not cheap…
