This is like me selling a set of clothes worn by someone famous. How would you go about verifying that it was indeed the suit that person wore?

During the most recent games, when Jeter was at bat, the umpires were given serialized balls for the Jeter at bats, just as they are for any major record event.
The fan that caught the ball beat out his dad that initially fumbled it. So, he gets suite tickets for the rest of the season, playoff tix if they advance, private meeting with Jeter, signed uniforms, bats . . . and he's part of Yankee history.
