Where we found the "Goldilocks" balls

While Wills' research found "dead" balls at parks around the country, the "Goldilocks" balls — with a more batter-friendly weight profile — only turned up at Yankees games and marquee events like the postseason or games using balls with commemorative stamps.

Note: Five balls without weight data have been included as goldilocks balls based on production batch codes.
