***LATE ADDITION*** Barry Bonds’ 749th home run baseball. Official MLB Selig ball hit for home run #749 by Barry bonds on June 22, 7007. The ball was caught by nineteen year old Daryl King, who attended the game at Giants stadium against the New York Yankees. King was sitting in section 144 of the outfield bleachers as he has for every Giants home game since the stadium opened in 2000. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Bonds belted #749 off Yankees pitcher Scott Procter straight into the right-center field stands where a bevy of Yankees fans were waiting to make the catch. The ball came down just behind them as King leaned to the left and caught the ball with his glove. King immediately stuffed the ball into his pocket and pressed his hand against it as the Yankees fans hoisted him up. King eventually broke free and fled the stands with the ball still in his pocket. To date, the offered Barry Bonds home run baseball is the highest career HR ball to have entered the marketplace. Additionally, it is one of the very few 700+ home run baseballs to have been hit by any player to be offered at auction. Included with the ball is a King’s original ticket for the game, a COA from the Giants, letter of provenance from Darryl King, and a letter from a Giants Guest Services Attendant who witnessed the catch: EX |

Superb Ted Williams professional model baseball bat c.1960. Louisville Slugger 125 model bat measures 35" long and weighs 32.6oz. The bat exhibits incredible use including pine tar residue, ball marks, cleat marks, and textured handle. W183 model number is stamped on the knob end along with a period black painted "9". The manufacturer stampings and Williams facsimile signature remain quite bold. Signed on the barrel under Williams' facsimile stamping, "Ted Williams 521" in period brown grease pencil/marker, which has faded a bit from age. The offered bat originated from the personal collection of Abbott Gordon. Mr. Gordon worked as a contract employee for the Boston Red Sox for approximately 15 years, through the 1950s and early 60s. Gordon owned a large book and record corporation in the area. His main contributions to the Red Sox included public relations work; he also issued season passes to fans. Abbott Gordon and Ted Williams were close friends throughout this period. He also became friendly with Dom DiMaggio, and many of the other Red Sox team members knew him as well. Abbott Gordon's son, Peter, fondly remembers many outings with the players including several fishing trips with Ted Williams. The bat was given to Abbott Gordon directly by Ted Williams shortly after the conclusion of the 1960 season, which would prove to be Williams' last and has remained within the Abbott family until its current offering. Based on its dating, provenance, and period signed career home run total, we can ascertain that the offered bat is certainly one of the last bats to have been used by Williams in Major League play. Without question, one of the finest Ted Williams game used baseball bats to have entered the marketplace with regard to usage, dating, period autograph with HR total, condition, and impeccable provenance. Includes LOA's from James Spence Authentication (autograph), MEARS Authentication (graded A9.5), letter of provenance from the Gordon family, and copies of period photographs picturing Gordon with Williams and in various Red Sox related capacities. |

Fine Ted Williams 1955 Boston Red Sox road jersey. Grey flannel jersey displays its original "Boston" team name across the front and #9 on the reverse. Tim McAuliffe tagging remains affixed to the tail front along with "55 46 2ins. 9" chain stitching in reference to the year, size, and number. Dry clean tag appears inside the tail front. The jersey clearly exhibits evident use including appropriate surface wear and a few areas of minor staining. The left sleeve appears to have faint vestiges of shadowing from the Harry Agganis memorial armband that would have been on the jersey for a short period. The lot also includes a pair of matching 1956 Boston Red Sox road pants as issued to Johnny Schmitz #21. Pants also have Tim McAuliffe tagging inside the waist with chain stitched year, number, and sizing as related to Schmitz. Pair of original red, white, and blue striped Boston socks are also included with the lot and have no tagging or identifying markings. The uniform was originally donated to a charity auction at Etrusco Association in Scituate, MA. The uniform was purchased for $50.00 by a local philanthropist who was also a large contributor to the Jimmy Fund in Boston. At the time of purchase, it was given to a volunteer at the auction as a gift, where it has remained until present. Ted Williams jerseys of this caliber with unimpeachable provenance and authenticity are exceedingly rare. Significant Hall of Famer uniform from a period primary source remaining in outstanding original condition.
