The Angels announced Friday that they will add their 50th anniversary commemorative logo to each Rawlings baseball used for games in Angel Stadium this season.

The addition of the logo will give fans the opportunity to collect a piece of 50th-anniversary memorabilia for every home run or foul ball that leaves the playing field. During the course of an 81-game home schedule, the Angels use more than 4,400 baseballs a season.
