He was able to quickly discount the one sold by his wife based on the lack of red transfer marks made from the special World Series balls.
Then through frame by frame view of game film he was able to match up the silver "13" on the knob as well as specific identification of the three red transfer marks made by the two fouls and the home run.
In my opinion this one of the most detailed authentications ever performed to link a game used ba to a specific event.
Hope that clarifies.

The World Series baseballs in 1999 would have been blue stamping, not red so there would be no red markings on the bat.
