SAL DURANTE WAS GIVEN $5,000 FOR TIS BALL THAT HE CAUGHT ON OCTOBER 1,1961.MY BELIEF IS THAT IS WORTH AT LEAST $50-60,000 TODAY.
An Ichiro Home run ball is worth about $10.
You just got a MLB Game Played ball ... Sadly the ball is not worth anything unless the home run was notable ....
It would be a fair ball.
It could be about a few hundred dollars depending on which ball it is. If it's a home run ball, a really old ball, their worth something. Anyball that says "official major league baseball" is from the mlb.
The average lifespan of a Major League Baseball is 7 pitches. In the big scheme of things, sending someone out to find the ball is not worth the resources. They would spend more trying to get the home-run ball back, than they would if they just bought a new ball. Plus it adds appeal to the games, making fans want to come just a little bit more.
Mike Thurman of the Montreal Expos on September 27, 1998. McGwire hit #70 later in the same game.
Because home plate is in fair territory, the ball could settle on top of the plate and it would be a fair ball.
Home plate is in fair territory, therefore the ball would be a fair ball.
computers use the trajectory of the baseballs flight path to determine where the ball would have landed if the seats had not been there and it would have landed on a level ground. They then measure the distance from where the ball would have landed on the ground from home plate
Some home fitness pieces to have in your home gym would be a bender ball, healthcare high tech-magnetic system, Swiss ball, dumbbells and maybe a Bowflex system.
For the baseball to have any value as the first home run baseball hit by Sammy Sosa, you would need strong provenance showing that the baseball is in fact the home run ball hit by Sosa. A letter from a player, team, or league official would be acceptable. A letter from a fan at the game would hold little weight if any. When Sammy hit his first home run, he was a rookie, and the baseball would have not been documented as such unless the ball was returned to Sammy Sosa as a keepsake, and then if he decided to give the ball away as a gift or sell it, the chain of custody of the baseball would need to be documented. If the baseball has no provenance, it would be valued as a used baseball. If the baseball sits in Sammy Sosa's personal collection a value cannot be given as it was never sold at auction.
