Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Sisko’s Baseball and Stand

replica movie prop

This is a replica of Captain Benjamin Sisko’s baseball as seen sitting on his desk throughout Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The stand is made of 1/4” MDF and aluminum. The baseball is a Rawlings Official League that has had it’s logos removed to match the one used on screen. This is a scratch build by myself.

Description from Memory Alpha: “In 2369, Benjamin Sisko received a baseball from an alien impersonating legendary baseball player Buck Bokai. He kept it on a stand in his office on Deep Space 9 and often tossed it between his hands during tense moments. He had previously kept a baseball with glove in his quarters. […] The baseball marked a symbolic passing of power at the end of that year – following Sisko's ascension to be with the Prophets, and Kira Nerys' promotion to station commander, she picked up the ball for the first time. However, the fact that Sisko left the baseball behind also could have been a sign that Sisko would return someday.”
