Description: Selling an team signed 1986 Boston Red Sox baseball with 13 signatures. No COA. Names include: John McNamara (manager), Tom Seaver, Joe Morgan (first base coach), Roger Clemens, Bob Stanley, Steve Crawford, David Henderson, Kevin Romine, Mike Greenwell, and a few I can't make out. The history of this baseball is this: In 1993, Bryan Harvey, former MLB pitcher for the Florida Marlins, partnered with Jill Hendrickson, a genetics counselor (Gainesville, Florida) to raise money for the Angelman Syndrome Foundation. Bryan Harvey's daughter has the genetic disorder and Bryan was the first major donor to this foundation, giving $20,000 in 1991 (see https://www.angelman.org/about/history/). So, in 1993, Bryan took official National League baseballs to his fellow Florida Marlins players and to other players on teams they were playing against, and had players sign baseballs. Then the baseballs were used to raise money for the Angelman Syndrome Foundation. He also donated team balls including this one from the Red Sox from 1986 (perhaps another MLB player gave it to him for this cause). A great many of the balls were sold but some were left over unsold. These balls sat at the home of the organizer, Jill Hendrickson, for 30 plus years. I met Jill at a yard sale fundraiser where she had decided to sell all these balls she had saved for a new fundraiser. I bought all 29 of her balls. . There is NO certificate of Authenticity (COA) with any of the balls I am selling but the history described above makes clear they are all authentic including this one for sale on this listing. So, for summary: Florida Marlins pitcher Bryan Harvey obtained this ball at some point in his career and donated it in 1993 to the Angelman Syndrome Foundation fundraiser. This Red Sox team ball was one that was not sold in 1993 so now 30 years later, you can buy it! Free shipping in the USA.
