I found 1 Smyth in Brookline
Smyth, J
Brookline, MA 02445
617-731-6495
I think it would be neat if someone called and getting the ball back to the original owner.

Re: Clemens GU BB -- Check the Story!
I called the auction house. They said that after 20 years, they didn't feel it was their job to try to track her down. They said that if she came forward, they'd definitely pull the ball and have her deal with the consignor.
I guess it's well known that the Red Sox of the 70's were a jerky bunch, as far as the front office goes. So for them to not honor her request is no surprise (to anyone but her, I guess.) But for them to leave it around long enough for someone to take it home, then try to sell it off, is dirty.
I wish I lived in the Boston area; I'd try to find her.

Clemens GU BB -- Check the Story!
Check out this baseball from Verkman auctions. I love the story behind the ball:
I understand that it's 20 years later, and the lady who caught the ball was a little naive, but I really think this is kind of crummy. I know, most GU items aren't exactly gotten legitimately, but come on, making money on this just stinks.
Any thoughts?
