"I was a Yankee batboy in Fla. and they signed this ball for me in 1961"

There are few people who collect them. But they can go for $100+ in some instance, I think.

Thanks Richard.I wasn't sure how desirable they were.

Even if this was a real signed ball, which it isn't, Bobby Shantz wasn't on the team by spring training of 61. Best it could be is 60...hmmmmm

I got an e-mail the other day from a guy trying to sell a Foxx single signed baseball. He says he played a little college ball in Miami under the Beast himself. He sent a scan of his baseball but I'm a little on the fence.

That story sounds very familiar. Had you posted about it before, or was that someone else?

I could be wrong, but didn't it have something to do with Halper, and a sheet of paper signed by 500 HR club members?

I think you're right. I guess my memory is okay, but not precise

Anyway, posting pics of the ball in question would go much farther toward validating the guy's story than a blind "sounds plausible" affirmation.

Yeah i think the story was that Halper played college ball with Foxx as his coach but no one could remember Halper being on the team.
