Orange U glad there are no Red baseballs

I haven't seen any red baseballs but Orange baseballsalmost made it to the major Leagues. brainchild of Oakland Athletics owner Charlie Finley. The orange Baseball was used in the A's 11-5 exhibition loss to the Indians. The maverick owner Charlie Finley efforts to introduce a bright orange baseball that Charlie thought might put some pizazz into the stuffy ole national pastime. The A's owner unveiled his masterpiece in 1970, using it in spring training when Bowie Kuhn balked at letting him try it in a regular-season ball game. The baseball is regulation size, and indicates right on the sweet spot that it's an Official Charles O. Finley baseball. The ball never caught on at the big league level. A great piece of historic Baseball Memorabilia. See Related Links below for more info.
