LSU ATLANTA AUCTIONS - Alex Box Dedication First Pitch Ball

Own a Unique Piece of LSU Baseball History!

2009 Alex Box Stadium First Pitch Dedication Baseball

Email Bids Now Being Accepted at Events@LSUatlanta.com

CURRENT BID as of 4/21/2010 is $650.

Tossed out on 2/20/2009 by Alex Box, namesake nephew of the WWII hero, to inaugurate the new stadium in what would become an incredible College World Series Championship season! The ball is dated and autographed by Box, current LSU Baseball Head Coach Paul Mainieri and 5-time National Champion Head Coach Skip Bertman. See detailed photos below.

Mr. Box, a resident of Augusta, Ga., donated this unique memorabilia item to LSU Atlanta to raise funds for the scholarship endowment fund that helps send high school students to attend LSU in Baton Rouge.

This is truly a ONE OF A KIND piece of history that will be auctioned to the highest bidder at LSU Atlanta's annual crawfish boil on May 8, 2010. We have many good fans and collectors of LSU memorabilia in Atlanta, but we recognize the importance and value that this item offers for baseball collectors across the Tiger nation and want all who may be interested to have a chance to obtain it by offering email bidding.

The baseball comes with a letter of authenticity from Mr. Box and a handsome plexiglass case with wood grain finished frame with mirror backstop for viewing back of ball.
