Wasn't it Jack Clark that sold two versions of one of his homers?

Apparently the ball was already added to the Heritage auction. Should be interesting

I think the ball to be auctioned by Heritage is the last-out ball from the 1908 World Series.

Whoops, you're right. The owner was probably watching Game 7 just waiting to consign it once the Cubs won

So Jennings got it from Chance, but the ball says from Charlie Schmidt (the batter)?

Yes, in his case, apparently two for every home run he hit.
Insert your own punch line here...

Rizzo handed the ball over to the owner today at the parade, so wonder no more.

Good to hear. I can't see how a particular player would have ownership over something like that anyway? I would think it would, and rightfully so, belong to whoever purchased the ball for use in the game. Either way, it's good to see it go to a place where hopefully the team and fans will get to appreciate it for years to come.

As if he wasn't loved enough by Cubs fans, now he's loved 8 billion times more!!

Talk about an idle sidebar to a good topic, but I can't help but wonder who pays for the baseballs in a WS game? Does the home team provide and then vice versa when the teams switch? Does each respective league share the cost? Or does MLB pick up the whole ticket? These are the issues that keep me awake at night.
