How about a Harridge baseball signed by Sir Isaac Newton and inscribed to Elvis Presley? I would bid on that.

inscribed:

"Dear Elvis,

Enjoyed your performance. I checked Ancestry.com and it says we are related. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Regards,

Sir (Cuz) Isaac Newton"

Babe Ruth's farts sealed in a mason jar with the inscription "Even the Sultan of Swat Whiffs Once in Awhile, Kind Regards, Babe."

Come on guys, let's put up a serious item here.
CC deserves something realistic to try to get for us.
How about the bedsprings from the Babe's room at the Ansonia Hotel in NYC, his little hideaway, signed by the Babe with the inscription ", boy these things saw a lot of action, Best Wishes Babe Ruth"

I was in vintage baseball hiatus during the Mick's liver scandal, but I can only imagine the discussions that went on here.

[travrosty]

I think I saw them offer a Babe Ruth signed baseball.

[Ejm1]

Monica Lewinsky game used cigar signed by herself, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Ken Starr.

Apologies for the poor scan of an old image, but you may be glad for the lack of clarity once you read on. Framed rubber glove inscribed as follows (hands are those of Barry Halper). This was waiting for him when he arrived back in NJ after Mickey's funeral.:

"Barry,

This is the glve from my hemmorid(sic) exam.

Mickey Mantle"


Honorable mentions might also include:
- a Tommy Thevonow signed HR ball
- a pair of Jorge Posada GU batting gloves
- a signed plaster cast of a sasquatch footprint

If I had to pick an unlikely 'coaches corner type', but authentic, item to have, I think it would be the bat that Fred Gladding got his only ML hit with. I remember hearing it on the radio - quite an event.
