A lot. The fact that you have Dimaggio and Mantle on the ball skyrockets the balls value. The '51 Yankees were in the midst of the Yanks 5 straight WS titles 49-53. Yankees memerobilia always fetches top dollar. Of course, the quality of the autographs will also determine the value. Are the signatures legible? Is there any smearing of the ink, etc. In 2005, a professionally graded 1951 Yankees ball sold for 20,000. http://sports.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=702&Lot_No=19347&type=prte-pr052305b As for an ungraded ball in decent condition My estimate : 8,000 - 10,000 dollars at auction.

There are no broadcasters in the Hall of Fame. Every year since 1978, a broadcaster is honored with the Ford Frick Award for excellence in baseball broadcasting, and the recipient receives the award during the Hall of Fame ceremonies, and makes a speech as do the inductees. However, the Frick Award winners are not actually inducted into the HOF and do not have individual plaques, but do have their names added to a single plaque in the HOF library. Frick Award winners who are still active with MLB teams include: Vin Scully and Jaime Jarrin - Dodgers Marty Brennaman - Reds Bob Uecker - Brewers Jerry Coleman - Padres Denny Matthews - Royals Dave Niehaus - Mariners

At first glance, Mario Lopez. But can we petition ABC to let Stacey Keibler have a permanent spot on the show?
