Aaron - Ruth - Mays - Oh : possible signed ball question

Awesome story Doug!! Not that it’s even crossed your mind, but please don’t add Bonds to this ball! I think it would be bad juju, personally.

Incredible story! And a happy ending to boot!

Ha! Bonds, Pujols, Rodriguez, Griffey, Thome, Sosa, McGwire, etc. Nope, sorry guys, it's perfect how it is.

After I got Aaron on it I thought about getting Mantle, but I liked 'top 5' better than 'top 6'.

Loved reading your story Doug and very happy you found it. I’ve had things go missing and never found, so I know the feeling.

What was you first thought when you rediscovered it?

I yelled "Aaaahhhh!!!" when I saw the box, scaring my parents in the other room.

As I reached for it, and pulled it to me, I turned into a 6 year old hoping that Santa brought me what I asked for, and not something his elves had too much of.

When I opened the box and saw the ball for the first time in 23 year I was swept over by supreme giddy happiness similar to that felt by 16 year old girls who get to touch the ends of their favorite teen-idol singer's shirt as he passes by... or the screaming girls outside the Beatles limo in the early / mid 60s).

That's awesome. Deep down did you think for 23 years that your life was a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle but you only had 499 pieces?
