The ball that went through Bill Buckner's legs in 1986 (and possibly the same one that Bob Stanley threw past Rich Gedman?) will go on eBay this month with a starting price of $1 million.

"My father [William] was the first black that played basketball in the Big 10. They took that jersey and his Globetrotter jersey.
