Jamie,
You think we didn't try to run and get them as soon as we saw what they were and where we could by them?? Believe me we tried...a lot. It wasn't like there were some of these balls in every store, and the teams who got there first got them. Some store simply didn't have any.....none of the stores near us did. The ones we did get, we had to find through walmarts inventory system.

Why most teams were able to grab a few from their local wal-mart, there were a signfigant amount of teams that were unable to get any, besides the 3 that FIRST offered up and the 1 that came in the kit.



I'm just trying to put things in perspective for you...not every team had the same scenario as yours.
