In summary:

On October 11, 2003, he was outside Fenway Park. It was Game 3 of the ALCS between the Red Sox and Yankees and a very tough ticket to get. Before the game he went behind the wall in left field to talk to the parking attendant who he was friendly with. Oftentimes home run balls that clear everything land in this particular parking lot. He asked the attendant to hold any home run balls for him that game.

In the game, Derek Jeter tied the game 2-2 in the middle innings. The ball cleared the fence and went into the parking lot. As soon as the game ended he went straight to the parking lot. The attendant had the ball and gave it to him for $200. Many years later after chasing him down, Derek Jeter signed the ball for him.
