Thanks Gary! #7890154Marty Straub August 27, 2009
Perfectly composed, Ed. Certainly this wouldn't be a MLB baseball; one graze in the dirt and you hand it to the ump to eject it. A hundred years ago they would use a ball until the tobacco juice made it impossible to see. You brought out some wonderful details of the game with scuff marks, ground dirt and an S curve. Very creative. #7892970Ed Heaton August 28, 2009
Thanks Marty! Yep, this is one of my kids baseball. You are right, we used to play with them until the covers where beat off of them! #7895509A P August 28, 2009
