Please note, this lot is being sold with the following information, http://usgovinfo.about.com/cs/consumer/a/badump.htm

Al Clark has been convicted of faking these balls. We are not sure of the exact final circumstances of these baseballs, so we are selling them with full disclosure of the controversy that surrounded them.

This game used OAL (Brown) orb saw action when the Orioles opened their breath taking ballpark April 6, 1992. A letter signed by Clark on AL stationery states "The following American League Baseball was used in play Opening Day April 6, 1992 at Camden Yard in Baltimore. This is the first ever regular season game to be played there."

The ball shows great use and is signed "game Used Opening Day Camden Yards Baltimore 4/6/92" and "Al Clark A.L. Ump 24".
