Back to the topic at hand
I did some research and I came up with three manufactorer's that made FED legal baseballs. The three are Rawlings, Wilson and Diamond.

Rawlings model numbers.

R100HSNF
R100-NFHS
RNFHS

Wilson model numbers.

A1001B SST
A1010B PROSET
A1010B HS1-SST

Diamond model numbers

D1-NFHS-NY
D1-PRO-NFHS
D1-NFHS
DOL-1NFHS


These models are the only ones with the NFHS logo:

D1-NFHS-NY
D1-PRO-NFHS
D1-NFHS

The D1-NFHS-NY is the Official New York State High Baseball Coaches Association Baseball. This appears to be the only legal baseball that the State of New York uses. This could be why the protest in New York State was upheld.

Well, since I know that I just did some games with Pro Nine NFHS stamped balls, and made a post stating that I did, I did a little research of my own and came up with these:

They must be brand spanking new because I can still see the stiches.

Hope your recovering nicely.

And the FED went to all the trouble of putting their stamp of approval on them too!
