It’s sad to think that back then, baseballs used to be 99 cents at the local drug store but now it’s so hard to find good quality baseballs and they all cost at least $13 (minimum), it’s not just inflation but over the years, the price increases for everything. Some ppl might think it’s not too much but for a ball that can easily be lost and or damaged, it will get tiring for having to constantly pay for a new ball.
Fr lol
a bucket of good baseballs is like $80-$120. Ridiculous
actually more than that
My favorite affordable baseball of all time is impossible to find now. Flat seam practice Rawlings cork center real leather. They were 48$ a box. Can’t buy them anywhere now.
If the price increases for everything… isn’t that just inflation?
From my experience, finding true Rawlings MLB balls on the cheap was something my friends and I did regularly back in the late-90s & early-00s. Those balls were $12-$15 at the time and none of us were up to spending $70+ for a half-dozen balls to hit around for two hours on a Sunday morning. So, here's what we did. Here in Philly, we had quite a few sports memorabilia shops in and around the city. All of these shops had autographed balls to sell. Yes, some of them were signed by stars which upped the value, but most of them were signed by local players - many who were backups, #5 starters, utility players, etc. Shops carried these of local players because some fans just like to have something affordable or maybe they try to put together an entire "team set", or whatever.
One thing happens to a baseball (in the collector's market) when a less-known player signs it - it brings the value of the ball down. Even when the balls were $12, we could get a Desi Relaford, or Kevin Jordan, or Doug Glanville signed ball for $3-$5. I'd often grab six or so and get a bulk discount and spend no more than $20 for all of them.
It's a bit tougher now since there aren't nearly the amount of shops that sell these balls. But if you happen to be near one and take a look, I'd be willing to bet you'll be able to get a couple well below the cost of an unsigned ball. Good luck in your search if you choose to do so.
Lmao! Believe it or not I've done the same 😂
CC EUREKA!!!!
I got a story about the $25 balls (aka the official gameballs), they are assembled in my home country, Costa Rica.
So when i was 6 i went to the states, my dad saw we had the time so we went to watch a Phillies vs Braves game, in that game i caught a ball.
So if you think about it that ball flew 2152 miles from Costa Rica to Philly then flew another 2152 miles from Philly to Costa Rica.
Awesome!!!
That’s a great story is the ball still in good shape
Awesome! Do you remember who hit it or tossed it up?
Ay, hope you liked Citizens Bank Park!
Pura vida :)
Isaiah and the boys have gotten so much better at film over the years!

The sound difference was crazy. Thanks for the video

I have a total of 5 baseballs. I caught 1 at a Charlotte Knights Baseball game on Thursday July 23rd, 2015(still own it) and I bought 4 Charlotte Knights Baseballs(1 on June 1st, 2023 & 3 on Tuesday September 12th, 2023) at the Charlotte Knights store. The ones that were bought at the store were only $10.00 each. I'm getting another Charlotte Knights Baseball(ordering online) for Christmas and another one on Saturday March 9th, 2024, the day after my birthday.
Thanks for the great vids!!!
I don’t know if it’s just me but it feels like he was trying a little harder with the $25 ball than the $2. Either way great video as always ❤
As to throwing, I thought the same thing. Still, I think it's clear there are differences that affect performance.
personally, i’m from a low income family so finding a good enough baseball for me is as hard as finding a good bat. i really only have a collection of six two dollar balls, a hand-me-down glove, and a old wooden bat. i’m not great at baseball, but with what i have i’ve grown a liking to the sport, i enjoy playing it, and despite having basically no money for good equipment, i make do with what i have and enjoy it. yes, i envy having a metal bat, a nice glove and a good baseball, but with what i have, i try to make the most of it, and it’s fun. so for me, two dollar balls are a lot better than a twenty-five dollar ball for me, despite a clear difference in which is better.
A few years ago I got 6 used balls on Sideline Swap for $18 (shipping was $16, so ultimately $6 a ball). They were a few game-used minor league balls, a game-used MLB ball, a game-used spring training ball and a used practice ball. You probably won't be able to find anything quite that cheap given inflation over the past few years, but if you look around you can find relatively decent deals (not much right now, but someone is selling a game used ball from the Bud Selig era for about $15 with shipping, which saves you $10, and a guy on eBay has used minor league balls for about $60-65 with shipping for a dozen, which comes out to about $5 a ball). Really the only issue is that you'll get better prices if you can buy more balls at once.
The vids never fail ❤😂
Next video: $50k or $50M player (Does it really matter?)
Lol who should the $50m player be?
Hahahahahahaaa
Underrated comment right here
Oh my gosh the sound of the mlb balls is so freaking satisfying when hit off a wood bat, but I will say I find the mlb leather balls to be much slippery than high quality Rawlings practice baseballs that cost 1/3 as much.
That's why they put mud on new MLB balls before they use them. They are slippery.
Looks like for $25 the baseball could at least be made in the USA! At least there still a few companies still trying to make wooden bats here in the USA!
It’s made in different countries because the property is cheaper and they don’t have to pay the workers as much here in the us
The specific mud that they use to rub into MLB quality baseballs can only be found in Costa Rica. The mud gives the balls a certain texture that makes them perform better on the field and supposedly the mud from Costa Rica has a better grit to it than mud anywhere else in the world, and I guess economics dictates the balls be made on site next to the mud to keep costs down. I watched a documentary about it on YT somewhere years ago.
dude i love your videos
9:13 this whole sentence is crazy 😂😂
Holy shit I never realized this was the Lapp Bros until I saw the channel name. I remember seeing your Baseball Stereotypes video from 5 years ago. I just subbed, keep up the good work guys
I live in Canada,and the $25 baseball costs me $40. Btw the $25/$40 baseball’s amazing
love the video ur chanel is great
I watch you ALL THE TIME! Also, LOOK AT DEM LEGS BRO NEVER SKIPS LEG DAY
Bro facts his calves r crazy😂
I have many MLB baseballs from games and I thought they were useless on a shelf so I play with them and they are destroyed, didn’t know they were $25 😅
I know y'all made a video about baseball dads, but you should do one on baseball moms!! And don't leave out Florence and Patricia!
That's a good idea. I can't believe u remember the mom's names from the park stereotypes video😂I even forgot about that and I was in the video lol
3:42 facts
Can't wait
You deserve more subscribers than you actually have.
GOATED vid
You dropped a fortune on this video...are singular baseballs worth 25 bucks?? I wonder🤔
Can’t wait
You should open more plate crates
I want to start getting into baseball and i just bought some of the cheap balls to practice throwing but i don’t know what glove to get. I dint have hundreds if dollars to spend on one so any sub $100 glove recommendations would be appreciated
i’m still enjoying these videos. they make me miss the sport though. this football season i tore my laburm so i’m not able to play this year. man i miss the sound of the ball hitting the glove
Aw man that sucks. It's cool how baseball is always there even when you haven't played in a while or when you get older
@@troycastellitto yeah fr man just being in the field is therapy
Those Amazon balls were probably counterfeit
Here before the banger drops
I used those two dollar baseballs and they work really well
I squished balls ❤ fro you
I can’t wait
i have the same batting gloves as you and i didn't realize it until towards the end of the video.
Bro, now u got me complicating my life desitions
HI IM A BIG FAN OF YOUR BESKETBALL VIDEOS!
Not sure if you’ll see this but You should try hitting Japanese rubber balls.
Love your videos im a fan of baseball because of baseball sport animes. 😊
I might have to do this on my own channel if we dont do it for lapp bros-good idea!
What state are you from, these fields look so nice
Me
I have had games at this ballpark. I play for CV btw.
What’s the sound at 1:41 I’ve always wanted to know but never found out please respond Lapp Bros
very much worth the purchase
Hell of a place to put a ball field. Next to high tension lines where kids play. We all have heard about high tension lines and the cancer rate for people who live next to them.
Womp womp
The ones that land in the corn are probably double deck
The mlb baseballs were 25$ when I was like 12 years old. I guess their price was so high they haven’t been able to raise it in over a decade.
Back in junior college the Astros donated us probably 200 mlb bp balls. They were all lost within the first season of use bc they were hit so far compared to our normal balls
Is that a Little League 'Farm' division field? 200 ft fence.
Cost rica has amazing baseball players and they use great leather
3:34 so true
I mean it's $25 for the ball and display case; those are for autographs
5:55 you’d be shocked at the lifespan of a baseball
Mom can we get Dylan page?
No we have Dylan page at home

There was a German girl at my high school. she said you have some weird sports here 😂

I have the same wood bat as you.
Bruh we are practicing with just 3 baseball because our school is so poor
9:14 💀
No man
You need better horse hides to start with, Clydesdale, Percheron, Thuroughbread,
“All the cheap things are made in China” he said but, the best things are also made in China
MLB all star game should be played with cheap baseballs, bats and gloves.
Astros or Phillies? (Go Stros)
Next up catchers gear
The dirt adds textur
$25 is Disneyland for the price of a baseball
0:03 the crack of the bat. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Approximately 75% of his arm strength and he's throwing 75 mph... You throw 100? 😂
When he seid it’s lopsided me like your face😊
Nice egg crack 😂
About 389 foot dingers
Him man that sucks
I enjoyed this video a lot but you do realize you just compared a MLB ball with a leather cover to a 8U ball with a plastic cover right?
No wonder why I cant hit a ball out of the infield. The balls cost 2 bucks!
If you keep practicing and being able to hit decently far with the cheap balls just imagine what you do in games with real balls . Use the cheap balls for strength and power
Like the X-Files music.
it’s either a dirty ball or lobsided ball 😳
You need to mud the MLB balls or the leather will split. But they honestly don’t last as long as you think.
Bro his swing is like a righty kyle shwarber
I'm laughing at dumpy car
You are throwing harder with the 25$ baseball
You can find practice baseballs that are pretty durable. They can last a couple of seasons if people are kinda nice to them.
An MLB game baseball has an average life of less than 5 pitches. They aren't meant to be durable. They don't have to be. A lot don't get used on game day because a part isn't good enough. They reject Thousands of balls and only the best are in the games. My guess is anything you can buy in a store is one that wasn't selected for game use. I saw a similar display in a DIck's not long ago. I could see that there was a roundness issue with one of the balls while it was in the case. Another had awful stiching
Like anything, there are different products for different purposes.
I love having the cutout on the end of a wooden bat like anyone else; but it always wrecked a seam on a ball the second they met. Heh, I swung to help when my brother was learning to throw a cutter. He was trying to break my bat and stuff, but he wasn't happy that his balls lasted 3 pitches before they were unthrowable. That's what you get for being the I Miss Barrels guy, ass. Hahaha
Haha fascinating thanks for sharing
I love baseball
LETS GO
$25 for a baseball is ridiculous.
Is it made of rubber or what?
Does it bounce?
This is a year old soon ❤
Even in the MLB if you hit it off the cap it rips. Even if they don’t see an actual rip they’ll get the ball out anyways.
im nine and i love how you throw can you teach me and you can cach so good i welly whut to be outfild oh and my name is conner
I believe the $2 balls you got were for 8u too so they probably weren’t meant for adult swing speed.
Ok and?
5:19 That sound! 🥵🥴😩
Im probably the first person to use the new zoom feature (3:32 am, november 2nd 2022)
Please do like cheap baseball pants and expensive baseball pants
And yet they all say "its a $5 baseball"
Tbh the goods is worse than the wood bat
As a coach for a top ten team in Ky and former player… work on your swing lol using only your shoulders stiff af it took about till the 8 min mark before you made clean swings.
Yeah that's why the little league balls didn't go far at all in the first segment
The old the best
One min 🎉🎉🎉
If you don’t wanna buy official major-league baseballs just try to catch some at a baseball game
You should be in the master leage
I have bought a bucket of baseball balls for 12$
