<p>A nestable ball retrieval and storage device for collecting balls from the ground is provided. The device includes a receptacle and a connected handle. The receptacle has a bottom grate with elongated members spaced apart from one another by a distance slightly less than a diameter of a ball to define at least one bottom opening through which a compressed ball on the ground can be forced through. The receptacle further has a receptacle wall structure surrounding and connected to the bottom grate. The receptacle wall structure converges inwardly from an open top to the bottom grate to establish a tapering cavity shaped to permit nesting therein of another substantially identical ball retrieval and storage device. The handle extends through a bottom opening of the bottom grate of the other device when the other device is nesting in the tapering cavity of the ball retrieval and storage device.</p> |
