Well, it's not in my collection but I sure wish it was (as you can tell by my avatar and signature) - on Canadian Antiques Roadshow, they had a guy on there who inherited a baseball from his dad - when his dad was 11 he went to a Yankees/Red Sox double-header - in between games he went down on the field and got Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig to autograph a baseball for him!!!! The appraiser estimated the value of the ball at somewhere between $25,000 - $35,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still holds the MLB record for Grand Slams with 23
