LOS ANGELES (AP) — How could a baseball artifact possibly top a ball signed by both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig?How about a ball signed by Babe Ruth Elvis Andrus Jersey , Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb, Cy Young, Tris Speaker, George Sisler, Walter Johnson, Connie Mack, Nap Lajoie, Eddie Collins and Pete Alexander, on the day they all entered the Baseball Hall of Fame?Such a ball just sold for $623,369, SCP auctions said Monday. That crushes the record of $345,000 for a signed baseball Ivan Rodriguez Jersey , set in 2013 for a Ruth-Gehrig ball.The seller was not identified, and the winner who outbid 28 other prospective buyers for the ball was identified only as a Southern California collector.The only living original inductee who didn’t sign the ball was Lou Gehrig, who on that day was headed to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota where he’d be diagnosed with ALS, the disease that would end his career, take his life and unofficially bear his name.It was on June 12, 1939, that the Baseball Hall of Fame first opened its doors, though it had been choosing members for three years by then. Most were already dead.Marv Owen, the star Detroit Tigers third baseman then playing for the Chicago White Sox, was in Cooperstown, New York, to play in an exhibition marking the occasion. His former teammate Hank Greenberg was also there, and had brought along two balls for the inductees to sign http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-shin-soo-choo-jersey , but was too bashful to approach them. Owen wasn’t, and got all 11 to sign. He kept one for himself and gave the other to Greenberg.“With autographed balls, very few can you trace to the point of origin, the point of signing, where you know the circumstances of where it was acquired,” said Dan Imler, vice president of SCP Auctions. “It’s incredible. It almost puts you in that moment, which is very, very rare for a ball.”Several signed balls have survived from that day, but most have signatures from other players or dignitaries that diminish their value.The names weren’t haphazardly scrawled all over the ball, either. It was as though Owen had future collectors in mind when he collected the signatures in dark, lasting ink. And their placement doesn’t seem random either. On one panel of the ball, stacked atop each other Prince Fielder Jersey , are Cobb, Ruth and Wagner, at the time considered the three greatest players of all time, with Walter Johnson, then considered the greatest pitcher of all time, hovering above them.“Ultimately that panel of Cobb, Ruth, Wagner is what puts it over the top,” said Kevin Keating of Professional Sports Authenticator, who verified the ball’s legitimacy. “Those are the elite of the elite. The fact that he got those guys the way he did, in that perfect order on one panel, it’s almost as if it’s by design.”Owen put his ball in a safe-deposit box, and his family kept it until 1997 http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-adrian-beltre-jersey , when it sold for $55,000.Greenberg’s ball has been lost to history. Chicago Cubs pitcher Yu Darvish was forced to leave his rehab start Sunday after just one inning, according to the Associated Press (via ESPN)."During warm-ups the next inning, I felt something in there,'' Darvish said through an interpreter. "Last time [in June] I did feel the same thing [but] I continued to throw. This time I stopped.''He made his last major league start on May 20, but he has been out with triceps and elbow injuries.The 32-year-old is expected to get an MRI when he returns to Chicago, but it's not yet known if he will return to the mound in 2018."I can't really tell right now,''Darvishsaid. "It depends how I feel tomorrow. I really want to come back this season. I am going to work hard and do my best to try and come back."He allowed a single and two walks in his one inning for the Single-A South Bend Cubs but retired the side before giving up any runs.Darvishhas been nothing short of a disappointment since signing a $126 million deal in the offseason. He has made only eight starts, going 1-3 with a 4.95 ERA that would be the worst of his career.While he has thrown bullpen sessions and simulated starts since his injury, plus one rehab start on June 25, he still hasn't felt good enough to return to the majors.After the latest setback, this seems like nothing more than a lost season forDarvish.
