Joe and Marilyn: A wealthy memorabilia story
2006-05-08 09:40
by Bob Timmermann

A baseball autographed by both Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe fetched $191,200 at an auction Sunday.

It is believed to be the highest price ever paid for an autographed baseball ever.

A Ty Cobb bat at the auction fetched $44,812.

No word on whether or not the autographed Enzo Hernandez bat I tried to sell fetched much.

So Marilyn misspelled not one, but BOTH of her surnames?

And she wasn't even a natural blonde!

I'll admit to one typo, but the rest was copied from the AP account.

Which has changed since I first posted it.
