Someone asked me to post a pic of the ball showing the Oriole 20th anniversary logo.

Nice, I'm curious to know why the boy if he was proudly clinging on to it, decided to sell it. Hope he wasn't coerced into letting it go.

I wasn't going to get into the purchase price, but it should answer you question. He knew the ball at the time was worth about 1k and was willing to sell around price which is why he was so excited. I offered him $500 and he countered with $1,500. We then agreed to $800. At the time we agreed on the price and I made the purchase I believe this was about market value for a hr ball. At least this was my gut feeling. I did know he would hit two more homers later in the game.

Nice work getting this ball!!! Initially, I thought I read that Josh had the other three but I checked again today and all I can find is he has #3 and #4. Maybe you can convince him that #2 misses it's "brothers" and need to be reunited. Then track down #1 and you have the master set! Loan it out to the Hall of Fame...take it on tour with Josh...your options are endless!
Congrats on tracking it down! Technology is such a wonderful thing, huh?

A radio station interviewed Hamilton and didnt carevtoo much about the two home run balls he had from the four hr game as when asked what he'd do with them he told the radio personalities he' put them in a closet or give them to his kids to play with in the yard!!!
I guess he values G U baseballs as much as I do, lol...
