An auction company sold several Hank Aaron memorabilia items over the weekend while it has an ongoing court battle with the Atlanta Braves over other items.

Heritage Auctions announced earlier this month they planned to auction off Aaron game-used bats, jerseys and baseball cards. The company also said it would auction off the home plate and bases from the night Aaron hit his record-breaking 715th career home run.
