Fake - its looks to new. The ball isn't yellow from age.

DB...no, Morales wasn't caught up in Operation Bullpen. Frangipani was one of the gang's favorite go-to guys for authentication, but wasn't arrested. What a shame.

Steve ...yes ineed a pity it is. Problem with Coache's Corner other than the controversy and prevalent "opiniators" along with I dunno how many lots are offered with not so much of a scan (buy sight unseen) is perhaps summed up in this article on the NY Daily Post from 4/'08 http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/2008/04/19/2008-04-19_be... which sort of sums up the state of disarray that collecting finds itself.

I still say you ought to start a blog where these items of interest are catalogued and available. Then, we all get to make up our own minds and you can stay out of the firing zone.

As far as this ball is concern, the real McCoy is on the first page.

DB, hey...I think it might be too late for us to stay out of the firing zone.

Do you mean a blog where the articles of interest are cataloged?

What's especially interesting in the article your pointed to is that even Coach's Corner didn't think much of Morales:

"But even the general manager of an auction house that sells scores of Morales-authenticated pieces each year says he doesn't have a lot of confidence in Morales.

"There are authenticators whose work seems better," says Lee Trythall of Coach's Corner. "There are guys who are more qualified."
