The Independent MLB Partner Frontier League unveiled a new logo today, as well as a new website and stats partnership with PrestoStats.

Germane to this website, will this mean a new Frontier League game ball this season? Although the current ball doesn’t have it, there is precedent for a league logo stamp on the official balls:

Does that mean we can look forward to a new ball in 2022? I’m trying to find out, so watch this space.

In other news, or really, non-news, MLB has confirmed that there was no MiLB Opening Day/Night ball this year so you can stop looking for those. In addition there will be no commemorative gamer for the MiLB version of the Field of Dreams Game between the Quad Cities River Bandits and the Cedar Rapids Kernels on August 9th. Another missed opportunity, for both MLB and collectors. I’m sensing a theme.
