For Granite Lanes Only
« on: October 10, 2008, 04:12:27 AM »
Friend of mine has a ball in his pro shop that is made by Columbia.
It is a light copper colored clear ball, with the inscription
in cursive writing "for granite lanes only".

Anybody know anything about this ball?

Wow - brings back memories. Mattingly could hook the ball but man was he ugly!

I heard about those in the 1970's. I also remember someone said for fun they made a bowling alley out of ice on a hockey rink and only the late Jeff Mttingly could hook the ball!
