Re: Rick Ankiel's Game winning splash hit!
Incredible, how where you able to get the ball and find out who retrieved it and such?

Re: Rick Ankiel's Game winning splash hit!
Great pick up! I got to talk to Rick for a bit after the NLDS game 4 loss. He is a nice guy and I would like to see him come back next season, but unfortunately he won't be back.

Re: Rick Ankiel's Game winning splash hit!
I seen it posted in a Braves forum that he had the ball and had it up at auction with a pretty high reserve. Shot an offer and he accepted. He tried to get it signed before the Braves left town but didn't have any luck.
I'd like to see them bring him back on the cheap if they could. He'll be fighting for part time duty next year. If he doesn't find a job, I guess I'll have his last career HR. Id be ok with that.

Do you get a have a notarized letter and photo of the guy holding the ball after retrieving it or anything or something to match up to photos or video of the person retreiving it. Provenance is really important on HR balls.

Yes it is coming with a letter from him. I can even photo match his kayak if I need to Not something I plan on selling. The guy has caught many hr's that have brought big bucks. He got 17,000 for Bonds 661. If he's gonna rip me for less than a grand for an Ankiel HR so be it.

Joe, I'd get the Ankiel ball signed. I got Rick to sign the bat he used to hit the HR in his "comeback" game as an outfielder, and I've never regretted it. The team LOA is good, the photo match is better, but the signature and notation is icing on the cake.
