Default Leyritz Ball

We believe we have the real one too but take this very seriously.

After much consideration Legendary Auctions has decided to withdraw the ball from our current auction. I had a long talk with Jim Leyritz regarding this ball who reaffirmed that the game balls and game bats where not in the house when his wife "selected" items to sell. We were able to verify with certainty that this was the case with the 96 Home Run bat but were unable to do this with the ball; and although we were comfortable with its authenticity agreed with Jim that we did not want any suggested negativity related to one item to take away from the sale of historic items from his collection.

In the end we believe withdrawing this item is the most responsible course of action given the circumstances.

Thanks for your feedback that helped us reach this conclusion.

Sincerely,
Doug Allen
