News-Antique.com reports that Heritage Auction Galleries will be auctioning a very unique piece of baseball history:
A unique, autographed baseball jointly signed by New York Yankees Hall of Fame player, Joe DiMaggio, and his former wife, actress Marilyn Monroe, will be offered for sale by Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas, Texas on May 6, 2006.
“The ball is from the estate of the late Associated Press photographer, Harry Harris,” said Chris Ivy, Director of Sports Collectibles for Heritage. “By a pure stroke of luck, he obtained the signatures during the Yankees 1961 spring training in Florida when DiMaggio and Monroe were attempting to reconcile after their divorce.”
