    I don't think the media as a whole will run with this.

    I don't know if they were commemorative, but I remember hearing there was something that made them easier to authenticate. There is a chance a small chance that however they decide which balls to use for commemorative balls has a correlation with the juiced balls, and balls that were meant for commemorative balls were used for Yankee games due to Judge's Record "chase".

    Small, small chance. I doubt Yankees were involved either way. More likely, something either intentional or unitentional by MLB.

    This will get labeled a "nothing burger" by the hypocritical and sanctimonious baseball writers, just like the Yankee letter, just like the 2018 Red Sox, just like Eric Kratz, just like Logan Morrison...it will go on and on.

    If Astros were the ones getting the juiced balls this would be breaking news on ESPN

    Instead no one has talked about it nationally

    Didn't the Astros use a stamped ball this year?
    Was it for all games or a select few?

    This whole thing got buried hard.

    Shows that for the average person, If they didn’t see it on television, it doesn’t exist.

    Manfred works for the owners.

    The owners have no reason to be unhappy with him. Their assets keep appreciating.

    Only fans of specific teams are upset with Manfred.
