MLB states this by the number :"RYAN HOWARD FOUL TIPPED TO THE SCREEN OFF DOUG DAVIS IN BOTTOM OF 5THINNING."
more info on the game " Ryan Howard foul ball baseballfrom June 12th, 2011. This was hit by Ryan Howard in the 5th inning in a pitchby Doug Davis that ended with Ryan Howard hitting a foul ball off it. The Philliesended up winning this game 4-3 with Roy Oswalt getting the win."

Congratulations on the great addition to your collection.

What I may do is make a display for it. So i can put Howards auto on one side (i have a few of those) and Doug Davis on the other side. (I have his too)

How did you get it MLB authenticated? Or did they sell it themselves?

The only reason why I ask is because I caught a Jeter HR ball back in his early years and wish I had it authenticated but it's not for sale, so I could care less if I have paperwork or not lol... not like I have to prove to anyone else that I'm telling the truth... I have the ticket stub and video from the game but tough to see me in the mosh pit HR porch at Jacob's Field in Cleveland.

I know the Mariners have been selling the foul balls, HR's, etc in one of their Kiosk's.. I asked the guy selling them if he sold the foul ball that took out A-Rod.. and he said yes..

He said it sold within minutes.. for about $50.. Each ball is MLB authenticated..

Nice addition..

The team usually brings in an MLB authenticator and the baseballs are authenticated shortly after they are retired, then the team sells them.

I don't know if you can catch one, then have it authenticated, although I'm sure it's done on milestone HRs.

yes, This ball was sold through the Phillies org.

I see some of these in my JJ searches. Not sure, at least at this point, I want to pay what most eBay sellers are asking for them.

Congrats !!!

Yea. i got mine off e-bay for half of what the Phillies were asking for it.

Team usually sells them for a crazy price. It's not worth buying them from the team unless they go on sale.
