Someone (I have no clue), hit a home run, and my father in law caught the ball! My father in law, eventually gave this autographed ball to his son, Tom (my husband), and this ball is now in my possesion (my husband has passed away). I was just curious, if there is any interest from any collectors who would be interested in this baseball. I have it (rather Tom had it), in one of those "baseball" perserve kind of things.
