This is a 1990 California League Championship Ring, The winning team was the Stockton Ports, a minor league team of the Milwaukee Brewers. I believe this ring was given to the umpire? The name on the ring is " Di Muro " Ring appears to be trillion, a base metal with a CZ, approx .25 ct, set in the middle of of blue stone. On the inside of the ring, it is ingraved, " BALFOUR GTC ".

Ran across this ring for sale this is the description with it just curious to if this ring would be very rare or common? Anyone have a value on it?
