A a Goober a is convinced that it is the authentic balls that Ruth hit into the stands for his record setting 60th Home run in 1927, she said. The baseball Hall of Fame has disputed that claim. A we have it Here a registrar Peter Clark said from the Hall in Coopers town n.y., on Friday. The auctioneers contend that in 1961 the Hall requested the Ball from the owner a claim denied by Clark in an interview published in saturdays editions of the san Jose Mercury news. The controversial Ball had the number 60 written next to Ruth a signature and was signed by his new York Yankees teammates As Well As Washington a Tom Zachary the Pitcher who threw the Ball. George Siegel of Atlanta suburb of Ellenwood inherited the Ball in 1977. Siegel said his father Herb then 14 years old caught the Ball in the right Field stands at Yankee stadium in what he described As a mad scramble on sept. 30, 1927. The Homer broke the record of 59 that Ruth had established in 1921. A afterwards he was throwing it up and playing catch a Siegel said. When his Uncle who had taken him to the game realized it was the record setting Ball he took it away Siegel said. Siegel said his Mother told him his father turned Down an offer of $50,000 in 1961, when Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle were chasing Ruth a record and the Ball was newsworthy again. Peter Clark said the Halls Ball was re authenticated last november. The Hall contends the real Ball was caught by Joe Forner who then sold it to a hat company which offered $100. Douglas Warner a relative of the hat firms owner donated the Ball to the Hall of Fame in 1964. Also sold at the auction was a Bat Ruth used. It went for $30,000.
