Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 26, 2015

So is that one ball from the Cubs/Reds game 99 years ago in a museum or somewhere?

At least nobody has seen a Grizzly and lived to tell about it.Likewise, before 2004, a wolverine had not been seen in Michigan in 200 years.

Yeah, but still tell us how much gunpowder was used?Might only be 15 kilograms.

Typical for California lefties!

The bears were all killed off in their battle with the bulls: The bulls won!

the california grizzly, a subspecies of grizzly bears, is extinct.

That baseball was used during the Deadball Era of baseball. The balls were in such bad shape during the game that hits were hard to come by. The teams didn’t want to pay for extra balls.

They couldn’t afford to stay there !!!!

For comparison, modern pro baseball uses more than a hundred balls per game.

i hear that in Cuba, where baseball is greatly loved, a spectator who caught a foul ball into the stands had to throw it back (They couldn’t afford 50 to 100 balls per game.). As Cuba and the US normalize relations, and US investment flows there, will this throw-it-back custom disappear and spectators start keeping the balls?

Sounds like grizzlies are not in California’s zoos, even.I’ve seen grizzly bears at the Detroit Zoo, but no wolverines there.
