Stained ball- How?

MartinFFcollector · Sep 7, 2012

I have a UDA Russ Martin Ball numbered to /55 that I got when they were 1st released awhile back. I glanced at it when I rec'd it and back in the box it went. Pulled it out a week ago and noticed it has stains like the one in the link. Dirty hands from UDA or the player or the ball material? Is this common with UDA? I know my hands were clean when I held it for the whole 3 seconds. Sucks someone else ruined it and I couldn't tell until years later.

Happens all the time with MLB baseballs. Leather has oils in it that sometime show up and brown years later. Balls very rarely stay snow white. They tone brown and spot over time.

Ok. Never knew that. Thanks for the reply.

Also, your hand can be clean but still have oil residue.

Could someone be fondling your balls without you noticing?

Knew this was coming... But to answer you question, I dont think so. I would have known as my bat would be a bit different as well.

You mean "my wood."
