Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4398167, member: 7511"] As a Yankee fan I would love to hand the ball to Judge for a picture with him. But the owner of Memory Lane Inc., a sports memorabilia company in CA had previously made a public offer of $2 million prior to HR #62, and he reaffirmed that offer today. I am reminded of the story of Sal Durante, a young NYC truck driver who caught Roger Maris’s 61st HR. After the game Durante met Maris and attempted to give him the baseball. Maris told him to keep it and sell it because Durante might be able to make some money off it. Durante got married, sold the ball for $5,000, used the money for a down payment on a house and raised a family. His kids are diehard Yankee fans who’ve been at a number of recent games, probably hoping that lightning would strike twice. [/QUOTE]
