Lot Essay

Rawlings B.Brown Official American League baseball has been signed on the sweetspot "George Brett #2992" in ink rating 7/8 out of 10. Soiling and use/wear are evident throughout. An included letter of provenance on Kansas City Royals stationary (dated November 11, 1992), signed by their Equipment Manager and Vice President of Public Relations, reads, "this is to verify that the baseball you purchased in the ALS auction is George Brett's 2,992nd hit, a single off Tim Leary on September 24 vs. the Seattle Mariners at Royals Stadium. The ball was pulled immediately from the game by the American League umpires and secured by the Royals' equipment manager..." Brett has also added his autograph to the bottom of the letter and the ball is also accompanied by what appears to be the bag it was stored in by the team, an ALS ribbon and pamphlet (with Brett pictured inside), and a "Countin Down With George...3000" bumper sticker. The lot also includes an article from 1992 which details how Brett was to auction off a number of hit balls as he neared number (3,000) to support ALS. Full LOA from PSA/DNA: EX
