Rawlings makes the official baseball of MLB. It is a subsidiary of Jarden Corp JAH. Over 600,000 balls are used over the course of a season in "The Show." And how many MORE, when you include all the Minor League Teams??? http://www.rawlings.com/
.....And which mutual funds own a lot of Jarden shares? -JP Morgan Midcap Value -CREF Stock -Vanguard Midcap Index -Vanguard Total Stock Market -JP Morgan Small-cap Equity (Sorry, I dunno the tickers.)
M* says there are 4 different analysts who track the stock, and they all rate it a "5," a raging BUY signal.
