He was able to quickly discount the one sold by his wife based on the lack of red transfer marks made from the special World Series balls.

Then through frame by frame view of game film he was able to match up the silver "13" on the knob as well as specific identification of the three red transfer marks made by the two fouls and the home run.

In my opinion this one of the most detailed authentications ever performed to link a game used ba to a specific event.

Hope that clarifies.

The World Series baseballs in 1999 would have been blue stamping, not red so there would be no red markings on the bat.

Read my post again....I was referencing his 96 walk off home run bat. 96 balls have red stampings.

My mistake, you are correct. This thread is just going all over the place instead of concentrating on what the original post was about, which was the last HR of the 20th century.

The one thing we know definitely is that neither ball is from the last home run of the 20th century. The question being debated is which ball is the last home run of 1999.
