Some lucky fans will take home some baseball bling from the State Farm Home Run Derby on July 11.
When a batter is down to their last out in each round, they are thrown baseballs with one golden panel. This year, the gold balls will be wrapped with one leather panel infused with 24-karat gold.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of America will see their coffers increase by $18,000 every time a gold ball is hit for a home run, thanks to the combined donations of State Farm and Major League Baseball.
The balls have an MSRP of $149.99 each.
