Re: Josh Hamilton's 2nd home run ball from 4 home run game on 5/8/2012
I know that authenticator can be lazy at times but adding "fraud" to the equation, now that is something I have not seen (two different items with the exact milestone).
$500 was more fair for the baseball - I paid $300 and $200 for a HR baseball from Arod (during his 600th chase) and Jeter, respectively.
Along with the HR baseball, I also have the ticket stub, security's affidavit as he witnessed as such, a hi-res video image from the celebration AND the sellers ARE my friends! I dont have any intention to sell these HR baseballs but when I have a chance to get them signed at a later date, that would be a cool story to tell.

Wow! Congrats on the pick-up. I like the uniqueness of the Camden Yard logo. Awesome!

I'm sure you're more than happy to by your friend a beer or three for getting the deal done! I would have been worried once #3 and #4 left the yard, the kid would have wanted more. Even with signing the document. I'm assuming your buddy didn't have $800 on him. Or did he go to the ATM?
Great story!!!

Re: Josh Hamilton's 2nd home run ball from 4 home run game on 5/8/2012
I live in Maryland and travel to some O's games. The "boy" in question is no boy. He is a agressive ball hawk. He catches BP home run balls and game home run balls with regularity and has no problem pushing his way in front of ticket holders to catch the ball. When he started doing this years ago he was a boy and wondered where his parents were.
If I buy a ticket to the game and the ball heads to my seat I expect those with tickets around me have equal rights to the ball not a kid running from a different section who is doing it for poaching.

That would not be happening at the new Yankee stadium. I had seen security confiscated the HR baseball from people who were not belong in the section. They verified it with the ticket presented. And when the ticket doesnt match up, they would be consider as trespass and that's that.
I am with you when it comes to "rights for all in the same section" not those sneaking in!
