Summer Birthday Bash! Junk Ball Review & Giveaway



Baseball is one of my son's favorite sports. He loves to play it and to watch it. He inherited this love from my stepfather who is an avid Yankees fan. The two of them love to collect anything with the Yankees symbol or picture of it. So of course, they were both excited to hear about the Players Choice Junk Ball set. 




This unique set comes with a plastic bat and baseball, but it is different than other sets because you can choose from multiple major league baseball players. Inside the box you will find stickers that show full body action shots of some of the leading players.  Choices include:

  • Ryan Howard
  • David Ortiz
  • Alex Rodriguez
  • Vladimir Guerrero
  • David Wright
  • Joe Mauer



The bat is fun to decorate and simple for even small children. You just peal off the stickers you want to use and put them wherever you want on the bat. Of course my son picked out Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. Than its time for  batting practice. The bat and ball themselves are made from sturdy plastic that will stand up well to the elements.




Do you have a future baseball star who would love to get in some batting practice? One lucky winner is going to receive a Players Choice Junk Ball of their own.

  16. I learned about the "dial" feature. You just turn the dial to adjust the airflow through the ball and aim the unique scuffmarks. Cool.

  40. Bat & Ball set:
    Throw big league pitches like the pros! Hit balls out of the park like the pros too! The ball's exclusive Dial Your Pitch feature allows anyone to throw curves, sliders, even knuckleballs. It's easy! Just turn the dial to adjust the airflow through the ball and aim the unique scuffmarks! The special high-tech 32" plastic bat with textured grip and exclusive "sweet spot" along the barrel give you super home run power! Backyard baseball will never be the same!
