University of Missouri Yardball
A ball and a glove in one.
Officially licensed, in natural leather with the Missouri Tiger, the Mizzou wordmark and black stitching. Black and gold, in a ball you can throw.
Bring it to the tailgate in Columbia, or give it to the alum who still yells "M-I-Z" at every chance. It's an easy graduation gift, too.
Same Yardball as the rest of the lineup: about 10 inches around and four ounces, a wool and cotton core, and 108 stitches by hand, sewn in Kansas City. Made for playing catch without a glove.

Made for game day
-
The tailgate
Toss it in the lot before kickoff. No glove to forget.
-
The alum's desk
Lives on the desk until someone throws it.
-
The next fan
Start them early. Catch first, fight song later.

No glove needed
Soft enough that a missed catch is just a laugh.
Same ball as the rest of the lineup. Enough weight to really throw.
Bigger than a baseball. Smaller than a softball.
A little lighter than a baseball. Heavy enough to throw like one, light enough that a missed catch isn't a big deal.
Wool and cotton inside, harness leather outside. Broken in from the first throw, and it looks better the more you beat it up.
People keep throwing it.
It's heavy enough to throw quite a distance but soft enough so that if my grandson misses the catch, it won't break his nose.
I said, “You throw it. And you catch it. No glove required.” … And he got into it. Highly recommended for everyone, including dumb brothers.
My family loves it! No game, no rules, just a ball to toss around.
Brings me back to my childhood. Can't remember a time I didn't play catch with my Dad. Now playing it with my Grandkids.
Kids loved it. played catch all afternoon.

Is it officially licensed?
Yes. Every collegiate Yardball is made under license from the school.
Is it the same ball as the regular run?
Same ball underneath: 10 inches around, four ounces, wool and cotton inside, 108 stitches by hand. The school's marks and thread colors are the only difference.
Will the logo wear off?
No. The school's marks are laser-engraved into the leather, not printed on top of it.
Do I need a glove?
No. That's the whole idea. It's soft enough to catch bare-handed and firm enough to throw like a real ball.
Can I return it?
Yes. Unused balls in their original packaging can come back within 30 days, and holiday orders placed Black Friday through December 31 have until January 31. Return shipping is a flat $8 unless the ball arrived damaged or defective. Read the full return policy.
