Does anyone remember this story?
I was reading SCD, which had their "Looking Back Section"
Ten years ago, Michael Lasky made an huge offer for the Eddie Murray 500th Home Run Ball. I don't remember this story, so I thought I'd share. Anyone remember this?
1996: The ball Eddie Murray hit for his 500th home run was sold for what one day could be $500,000. Michael Lasky, the founder of the Psychic Friends Network, paid $280,000 that was put in an annuity to be paid over 20 years. With interest, the annuity will be worth about $500,000, according to a spokesman for Lasky, who also operates as syndicated handicapper Mike Warren. The previous record for an auctioned baseball was $93,500 for the ball that went through Bill Buckner's legs in the 1986 World Series.
