New York Yankees-signed baseball from 1962 World Series raises $30,000

Something good has come from that 1962 World Series in which the Yankees beat the Giants in seven games.

A baseball from that World Series, signed by many of the Yankees players, was sold for $30,000 at a silent auction in Liberal, Kansas, over the weekend and will be used to build a memorial for Kaiser Carlile, a 9-year-old boy who was killed when he was accidentally struck by a bat during a National Baseball Congress World Series game in Wichita, Kansas.According to the Wichita Eagle, the baseball was donated by Randy Watson, who got it from Yankees pitcher Ralph Terry, the MVP of the '62 Series.
