Braves want Heritage to pull Hank Aaron items from auction

[Leon]

Wow. They did what you wanted! Amazing.

Now some schmuck owes them 24 Big Ones though.

I am confused. Didn't all of the Aaron/Braves items sell?

Yes, it all sold but I was referencing the jersey. Sorry 'bout that. Wrong reference. I had the jersey on my mind.

Seems the auction went on schedule, and brought the prices, even though there were some naysayers.

The article you provided the link for indicated that home plate and the bases that were claimed to be from his 715th home run game were removed from the auction. Here's another link to an article about that:

This morning while looking through my stash of vintage wire/AP photos, I came across the attached photo. I have hundreds.

Maybe we should ask Mr. Rice and the 2 guards what happened to the bases. It appears these gentlemen were deeply involved in the record setting event.

If there was that much security on the bat and balls for 714 and 715, did it cross anyone's mind at that time that ANYTHING to do with the event should be guarded?

Just a question.
