1994 World Series Baseball

The official Rawlings 1994 World Series Baseball is from the World Series that never happened. For the first time since 1904 the World Series wasn't played. The 1994 player-strike caused its cancellation. The official World Series baseballs were authorized before the strike happened, causing a surplus of baseballs made for the game and souvenir stands. The 1994 Commemorative World Series baseballs were made available through Newspaper offers, and memorabilia dealers, ranging in price from $15.-$30.

The color of the ink used on the stampings of the World Series baseballs alternates from red to blue each year from 1978, until 1999. The official World Series baseballs produced in 1994 were stamped with red ink. The manufacturers stamping on the sweet spot sweet reads "OFFICIAL BALL" at the top, with a star on each side, and the next line below reads "1994 WORLD SERIES" all in uppercase lettering. The top panel is stamped with the Rawlings® script logo. The bottom panel features the commemorative "1994 World Series" logo.

After baseball's commissioner Fay Vincent resigned in 1992 Major League Baseball had Rawlings remove the commissioners stamp from the baseball. This practice continues after Bud Selig took office from 1993 until 1996. In 1997 the "Bud H. Selig Office of the Commissioner" stamp was added. The 1994 Official Commemorative World Series baseballs did not have the commissioners stamp. The baseball came in an official 1993-1994 American League Bobby Brown Pres. box, with a 1994 World Series logo sticker on it.
