During the past year, I have become "sort of" a basketball player. I play
mostly on a run-down concrete court with grass growing up through the cracks,
etc. But don't laugh; we have some darn good games out there!

Problem is, I just spent $35 on a new Wilson X6000 imitation leather indoor/
outdoor basketball, and it immediately developed a slow leak, requiring a
couple pounds of air every day or so. I was just wondering if there were any
way such a leak could be fixed. Is there something you can squirt into the
"airhole" like the stuff you can put into the tires on your car? I believe
it started when the ball rolled into the grass off-court and picked up a
goathead (that's a "sticker"). I'd hate to just throw the ball away. Please 
give me some advice on this, if there is any to be given. 

Thanks in advance,
