The Museum: MLB World Series Baseballs

The complete collection of Major League Baseball’s official Rawlings World Series Baseballs is available in this gallery. Rawlings MLB WS balls date from 1978, when the first common Rawlings commemorative game ball was produced, to 2024.

Keep an eye out here for multiple versions for some years. Several seasons saw commissioner changes and commemorative World Series logo design changes. We’re displaying anything that was intended for game use below, even if canceled. In 2001, for example, a ceremonial first pitch baseball was added to the Fall Classic, and the original 2001 game ball was scrapped in favor of a more patriotic banner logo after many baseballs had already been printed. For other variations of World Series related official leather game balls that were not used in games, such as promotional versions (dueling team logos, World Series champions) as well as rare and unusual prototypes, please check our Museum of Baseballs MLB Prototypes, Misprints & Errors gallery and the MLB Promo and Miscellaneous gallery.

We’re also including modern Rawlings WS reproductions alongside the originals when possible, for comparison’s sake. That’s primarily for 1970s to 1980s WS baseballs where there are key differences, such as missing manufacturer’s country of origin stamps (Haiti, Costa Rica) or logo size/color issues.
