  • I wish I had known about this earlier. That way you could have bid on one of these balls before it closed up this past Monday. Little League Baseball and Softball, along with Subway, had a auction featuring painted balls designed by Little League players and then signed by celebrities. See the website with some details and all of the balls here. Included was our very own Alyssa Milano. Her ball is below. Orel Hershiser and Juan Pierre also participated. (Hat Tip: Beckett)
