I remember seeing a bunch of the Durwood Merrill baseballs. I was interested because he had a McGwire homerun ball. I thought, maybe it was legit if the ball bounced back on the field and got tossed to the infield. Maybe the ump asked for it or told the ball boy to put it aside. But after looking up the boxscore and seeing he wasn't even at the game I turned it down. It's starts getting too sketchy when it wasn't obtained first hand.

There are some major auction houses, who I won't name because they read this board, that list homerun or game used baseballs and don't mention how they got them or any provenance.
