league clubhouse in the early 1960s where he met two icons despite his allegiance to the Boston Red Sox and autographed baseball he gave away that miraculously boomeranged back to him more than 45 years later.

Accusations of fraud against the New York Giants and Eli Manning over some game-used gear are still on the table.  A judge tossed out some elements of the case, filed by dealer Eric Inselberg, but sustained racketeering and fraud claims against Manning, PWL Inc. and Giants equipment director Joseph Skiba.

What happened is worth a read.
