Details of the Baseballs

Each baseball in this collection is a Rawlings manufactured Official Major League Baseball, adorned with a special stamp commemorating “A CENTURY OF THE CUBS AT WRIGLEY FIELD 1916-2016.” This unique marking celebrates the Cubs’ rich history at their iconic home, Wrigley Field.

• First Baseball: This ball features an MLB hologram with the serial number “JB401891” and was used in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers on August 16th.
• Second Baseball: Bearing the MLB hologram serial number “JB401827,” this ball was used in an August 14th game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
• Third Baseball: Although it carries the MLB hologram serial number “JB372245,” this ball does not register in the MLB database, adding an element of mystery to its provenance.
