TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A baseball was found in a collectors case just outside of WFLA News Channel 8. Now, we’re trying to track down the owner.

Shane Samuelson was outside of the WFLA News Channel 8 station by the Hillsborough river when he saw something peculiar sitting on a tree stump across the water from the Sheraton hotel.

Samuelson walked over to the stump around 8:30 Thursday morning, he discovered a baseball perfectly kept in a plastic collectors baseball case.

After further inspection, Samuelson found the baseball had little doodles on it and assumed it may actually be a youth baseball.

“Someone must really care about this baseball for it to be in a case like this,” Samuelson said.

We need your help to find the owner of this baseball who is probably missing it terribly.
