History of Maris' 61st home run ball?

Posted By: Anonymous

The Hall doesn't go on spending sprees. EVERYTHING is donated. The Halper items were purchased by MLB because they felt that some of the items belonged in Cooperstown rather than private collections. I'm sure they would have purchased more if it was financially possible. My understanding is that MLB had an $8M budget for the purchases.

In the past, there may have been items that were temporarily loaned, but nothing that is on permanent display or in the collection is a loaned item.
