All BallPark items are made from seat wood removed before the MLB Authentication Program began. The wood we use is from authentic vintage stadium seats from two MLB-approved and trusted resources with whom we have worked since 2006. In the first year, we sensed that they were the right people and not only have we not been disappointed, we are in awe of their knowledge, integrity and their passion for authenticity. Our trust in them has only been enhanced as we continue to work together, and, as with Michael Posner at MLB, we have "caught the passion" these folks have for America's pastime!
