Whatever happene to those undersized baseballs that were supposed to help hitters a few years back? I havent seen any lately. Are they still around or were they just a passing fad?

They have probably been replaced by plastic golf balls, etc. Personally, we hit a lot of corkballs. I still can't believe how expensive corkballs are.
Both my son's fall team and his select team use those corkballs.

CADad I knew someone would have a "ball" with this post. 
I did a little research and found them on the internet. These seem to be slightly larger than the "corkballs".

I'll tell you one thing, small balls can take a real beating and continue to hold their shape.
Must be that AC/DC warmup music...scared all those small balls away
I leave for a couple months and I return to this.
