As for the specific event, I would guess a Celebrity or MLB Alumni Golf Tournament. Lot #769 in the current LOTG Auction (my consignment) is from a Celebrity Golf Tournament, and has many of the same names. So that's my educated best guess to tie these names together.
This led me to search differently. Since Brooks Robinson is on the sweet spot, I started there. Well, it turns out Brooks Robinson is president of the MLBPAA (MLB Players Alumni Association). They do tons of events and handout awards to each other for their activity in volunteer work. One of those is the Brooks Robinson Lifetime Award. Very common for a large group of MLB players to gather each year to handout awards to each other and raise money for charity and the MLBPAA. Very public event. Im feeling confident this is one of those events. Now I will have more fun sleuthing which one - and what in the world a1997 WS ball has to do with it, if at all.
