Lump of Coal Yardball
All black, Naughty List on the side, and it ships in a sack marked COAL.
A ball and a glove in one. Throw it, catch it, no mitt required.
Made to order. Hand-stitched in Kansas City and out the door within three business days.
It's not just a ball. You'll know on the first catch.
Four ounces. Enough heft to really throw, light enough to toss all afternoon.
Firmer than foam, softer than a baseball. A missed catch is just a laugh.
Real leather that warms up in your hand and breaks in the more you throw it.
It lands in a bare hand with a soft, solid thwap. No glove, no sting.
Not too hard, not too soft, perfect weight to be able to throw without causing injury or breaking things. Matthew · Glove Tan · ★★★★★
Somebody's been naughty.
Every year somebody gets coal. It's a joke, and it usually ends up in the trash.
This one's black leather and black thread with a real Yardball underneath. We burned Naughty List into one side and Product of the North Pole into the other, then packed it in a burlap sack marked COAL.
Still a gag gift. Just one they'll actually throw.
The details
What it's made of, and every angle.All black leather, black stitches, and Naughty List burned into the side. LPR #22, our holiday ball for 2026. It ships in a burlap sack marked COAL, so it looks like the real thing right up until they open it.
Underneath, it's a Yardball like the rest. Soft enough to catch bare-handed, heavy enough to really throw. Drop it in a stocking, bring it to the white elephant, or hand it to the one who had it coming.
Engraved Lump of Coal, Naughty List, and Product of the North Pole. Hand-stitched in Kansas City. 10.5 in. around, 4 oz. Burlap COAL sack included.
People keep throwing it.
It's heavy enough to throw quite a distance but soft enough so that if my grandson misses the catch, it won't break his nose.
I said, “You throw it. And you catch it. No glove required.” … And he got into it. Highly recommended for everyone, including dumb brothers.
My family loves it! No game, no rules, just a ball to toss around.
Brings me back to my childhood. Can't remember a time I didn't play catch with my Dad. Now playing it with my Grandkids.
We're fans for life. Really wish we could get our hands on some of the sold out limited editions though!
Kids loved it. played catch all afternoon.
Will the Lump of Coal come back?
Made once, maybe twice. When this run's gone, the next LPR will be something different.
Can you really catch it bare-handed?
Yes. It's softer than a baseball and sized for bare hands. That's the whole idea.
How big is it?
10.5 inches around and four ounces. Bigger than a baseball, smaller than a softball.
Is it a good gift?
It's the gift that doesn't sit in a drawer. It lives on a desk until someone throws it.
