Enjoy a game of catch as they did back then. More than a half-century prior to The Babe's first plate appearance, the lemon ball took the field. Softer than today's baseball, this replica of the 1800's "lemon peel" style hearkens back to a time when baseball gloves were fingerless and parks were fenceless.
  • made of full grain leather
  • reproductions of the authentic "lemon peel" style baseball from the early 1800s
  • indoor or outdoor use
  • will develop a rich patina over time
  • 3.5 oz. 8 3/4" diam.
  • handstitched in USA

Something Special January 23, 2014
"This was a great gift for a baseball lover. Not necessarily something they will play with, but it goes great with a collection and the history behind the ball was appreciated. It would be a little nicer if there was a better display that came with it."

Not quite what is pictured December 03, 2013
"The ball in the picture looks round and firm, the ball I received is not. It's squishy. However, due to the 'history', I think it will be a good gift for my boss since he loves baseball and will enjoy the story behind it."

Lemon Baseball February 26, 2013
"My husband loves all sports but baseball is his favorite. The baseball is leather and smaller than a baseball now. It brought back memories for him since he is over 80 years old. When our son-in-law saw it, he was amazed and loved the feel of it. I would recommend it because it is special."
