Schott baseball memorabilia auction set for March

The late Marge Schott's collection of baseball memorabilia will be auctioned off March 31, three days before Cincinnati's Opening Day celebration launches the Reds' season. The auction will begin at 1 p.m. at the Starlite Ballroom, 5994 Linneman St., in Cincinnati.
Schott, who owned the Reds from 1984 to '99, amassed a collection of mainly Reds memorabilia. Her 1990 World Series championship trophy, uniforms worn by Pete Rose and Eric Davis, and a 1990 World Series baseball signed by the team will be among the items auctioned off. Other items on the auction block will include unopened packs of baseball cards, bats used in Reds games and original baseball artwork.
The auction is the second of three public auctions of items from the estate of Schott, who died in 2004. The sale is being conducted by Cowan's Auctions Inc., and proceeds will go to the Marge and Charles J. Schott Foundation.
