Steve Sax hit for a high average and that allowed him to cross the 200-hit plateau twice in his career. Offered is that very pair of milestone balls, both signed by Sax in blue ballpoint pen. The first time he got to 200 was in 1986, in San Francisco's Candlestick Park as a member of the Dodgers. The second time was during his first year as a New York Yankee, when he got his 200th knock off Roger Clemens at Fenway Park in 1989. Both balls have been signed by Sax (with the milestone notations presumably by Sax or the clubby) and are certified by PSA/DNA, with a letter from Steve Sax.
A portion of the auction proceeds from all items sold in the Steve Sax Collection will benefit the foundation named for Steve’s son, John, who was one of five U.S. Marines killed in a training flight accident in June 2022 in the California desert. The Capt. John J. Sax Foundation “serves to support those who choose to further their education, exploration and passion for flight."
