Allentown, Pennsylvania (July 20, 2025) – Over 6,700 baseball fans, including 569 Lehigh Valley IronPigs fans, combined to set a new world record Tuesday as their collective signatures on the World’s Most Autographed Baseball have set a new mark for the most signatures on a single piece of sports memorabilia.
The 8-foot, 1,200 pound replica baseball embarked on a 2,600-mile, 15-stadium trek across the Minor Leagues in the upper Midwest and Northeast United States from June 24-July 26, culminating with the final stop at Major League Baseball headquarters in New York City, where following the signature of the Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred Jr., the new world record for most autographed piece of sports memorabilia was certified by Guinness Book of World Records adjudicator Andy Glass.
“Following the World’s Most Autographed Baseball on its summer road trip has been nothing short of extraordinary, but what truly stands out is the sense of community it fostered at every stop,” said Kristin Sutton, Minor League Baseball Vice President, Marketing. “Witnessing thousands of fans engage with this tour, excited to leave their mark on a piece of history, underscores the unique bond we share with them. We’re thrilled to have broken a Guinness World Record and showcase the spirit and excitement that our MiLB ballparks bring to communities nationwide.”
The World’s Most Autographed Baseball made a stop at Coca-Cola Park on July 24, where 569 signatures were added to the ball, the most of any stop prior to the ball arriving to Major League Baseball’s offices.
The World’s Most Autographed Baseball was signed by 200 or more fans at each of the 15 stadium stops, and by 684 more outside MLB’s offices in New York City on July 29:
