In major leagues this is the case because the batters hit a lot of foul balls into the stands. Also, whenever the ball touches the ground, catchers ask for a new ball because the ball is scuffed. A scuffed ball might affect the outcome of a pitch in the major leagues.

What is astro baseball in enron box worth?

There were baseballs given away at the official opening day of Enron Field on April 7, 2000. There were also souvenir baseballs sold at the stadium but not marked with a date as the baseballs given away, and did not come in a box. The Inaugural baseballs only sell for about $7.-$15. each. I saw one auction where both an Enron Field Baseball cap, and the baseball together sold for $6.99 I guess it's time as a collectible has not arrived as of yet. The baseball cap was given away at a game played on March 30, 2000, and I have heard that a baseball was also given away as well, but I do not know the details of the baseball. The game was an exhibition game played between the Astros and the Yankees, and was the very first game played at the stadium. Roger Clemens started for the Yankees, and Dwight Gooden was the pitcher for the Astros.
