As a 34 year old, I had never seen anything like the Gibson HR when it happened and still have seen nothing else like it 20 years later (Save maybe the Boise State Fiesta Bowl game a few years ago). I remember I was heavy into Strat O Matic Baseball that year with my friends and Eckersley was unhittable. Possibly the best year for a closer in ML history and the situation for Gibson was the closest thing to a story book ending as anything in Sports.
If I was a billionaire, I would have bought em! Congrats to Chad and Doug, now you guys just need Roy Hobbs' jersey from "The Natural" to go with it! Rhys

It was the simple greatest baseball moment in my lifetime that I witnessed. In saying that, those prices are absolutely insane.
After all, what does that make the Mookie ball now after it was purchased for what, $80,000 like ten years ago by Seth Swirsky? How about the pine tar bat? That has to sell for at least $200,000 of Gibby's bat brings over a half a million? DanC

What?????
Great that the charity is getting a sizeable donation. AWFUL for the hobby as every goof out there now will think that their stuff is worth a fortune. Those prices are absolutely ridiculous and actually hurts the majority of the hobby (collectors and dealers alike). We are all not million/billionaires and can afford to pay astronomical prices for everything we like. Sure it's an iconic game, but it only ended game 1. Is the Joe Carter SERIES winning bat worth a million dollars because it's more important? What about Thompson's or Mazeroski's bats, 2-10-100 million, where does it stop? Just a little rant, sorry bout that!
