To remove ink from a Baseball, you can try using rubbing alcohol or acetone on a cotton swab and gently dabbing at the stained area. Be careful not to rub too hard as this could damage the leather. Alternatively, you can try using a specialized leather cleaner or stain remover specifically designed for removing ink stains. It's important to test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the baseball first to ensure it doesn't cause damage.

This is a No No. Do not try to remove a signature or "ink" from a baseball. You will most likely do more harm to it. Restoration to any collectible should be left to the expert that has experience with that type of work, and to this day I have never heard of anyone that restores baseballs or signatures.

If you try to remove ink from a signed baseball the ink might lighten, but will spread to a larger area of the ball. It will bleed into the baseball. What ever you use to remove the stain will have no problem removing the signatures as well. If any liquid comes in contact with the signatures, your baseball will look like a wet piece of mail.

If you are trying to remove an unwanted signature from a baseball you will not be able to do so cleanly. you will cause some damage to the baseball, and the "Ghost" of the old signature will be apparent. If you have the baseball re signed by another player this will lower the value of the new signature. You will be better off buying a new baseball.
