Nah... There'll always be someone dumber--and richer--who will buy it next time around. After all, the "provenance" will only be stronger: 'Ruth's St.Mary's glove sold by Goldin Auctions.'
Of course, it all rests on the absurd assertion that Ruth took the glove--useless to him as he was a left-handed pitcher--when he left St. Mary's. (Highly unlikely, for two reasons: first, he couldn't use it and didn't need it, and second, that St Mary's could spare it.) And then, having done so, gave it to a kid in the drugstore. Family folklore. Useless, as far as provenance goes. |
