I’ve been collecting balls for the past 20 years. When I was growing up my life centered around playing baseball. One of my favorite memories is of my Dad playing catch with my Brother and me in our backyard for countless hours. We had a very large yard that was lined by huge pine trees. As you can imagine, many baseballs got lost in that tree line. So when I would go looking for a ball that got past me, I would usally come out with one or two extra balls that may have been hidden from years gone by. What I loved about this was how, sometimes… the ball had been aged and weathered leaving a beautiful patina. I guess that’s what really started my interest in my ball collection.
