The $ from the ball is going to the guy who caught it and the
commission to the live auction house. Not sure what ebay cut is on the
deal. Maybe for publicity purposes only?

BTW: As in everything, just because Mark is good at what he does
(ballplayer) and has morals and standards doesn't mean that
he is a good businessman. :)

I'm not a baseball expert, but I believe he was given #62 and most, if not all, of the balls before #62. The balls after #62 were kept by the fans who caught them. The auction sold only balls after #62 (most of the balls between #63 and #70). #70 went for 2.7m. the others went for around $50k. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Jim
