Abstract
A baseball holder for an autograph seeker includes a hollow housing having a bottom wall, a planar top wall, a pair of sidewalls and a pair of end walls. The bottom wall includes a pair of spaced slots that allow a celebrity to more easily grasp the housing when signing a baseball. On the top wall is a circular opening in communication with an interior chamber having a pair of reciprocal gripping members therein for securing a baseball to the housing. Accordingly, when a baseball is secured within the opening, the planar top wall provides a comfortable support surface for the celebrity's writing hand.
