Minor League Fans Set Guinness Record with Most Autographed Baseball Across 15 Stadiums

An 8-foot, 1,200-pound replica baseball completed a 2,600-mile, 15-stadium tour across Minor League ballparks, culminating in setting the Guinness World Record for the most signatures on a single piece of sports memorabilia with a total of 6,750 signatures. The tour began at Victory Field in Indianapolis and included stops at stadiums such as Altoona, Rochester, and Lehigh Valley's Coca-Cola Park, where 569 fans added their signatures. The ball also featured autographs from notable figures including MLB Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr., NFL Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas, and Bruce the Bat Dog. Minor League Baseball Vice President Kristin Sutton highlighted the event's success in engaging communities nationwide and fostering a sense of unity among baseball fans. The new record significantly surpassed the previous mark of 2,146 signatures held by a jersey from the United Kingdom. This celebratory journey not only broke records but also showcased the vibrant spirit and widespread fan enthusiasm for America's pastime.
