ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for retrieving baseballs, comprising a cup. The cup has a base with a periphery and a frustro-conical side wall secured to the periphery to thereby form a closed smaller end and an opened larger end. The cup is fabricated of a material with limited resilience whereby the side wall forms an angle when measured from the axis of the cup, such measurements being plus or minus 10 percent. The cup is formed with a small aperture in the center of the base. A string which has a free end positioned through the aperture in the cup when inverted and a knot formed in the free end within the cup. The string also has a secured end. Further provided is a cylindrical handle for the wrapping of the string. The wrapping of the string begins with the secured end and an intermediate extent thereof for feeding out string to allow the free end of the string, the knot and cup to be lowered by gravity over a baseball and then re-wrapped on the handle for retrieving the cup and baseball.
