The Atlanta Braves are being sued by Heritage Auctions over Hank Aaron memorabilia. A lawsuit was filed against the Braves over a disputed memorabilia auction that included the bases and home plate that MLB legend Hank Aaron touched after hitting his 715th career home run. Heritage Auctions is claiming the son of a longtime Braves employee approved the items in a team's letter that included false statements and accuses the franchise of “defamation” and “business disparagement,” according to ESPN's Dan Hajducky.
The lawsuit is claiming damages worth over $75,000. Heritage Auctions stopped the auction of the bases and home plate.
