A ball from the 2007 Major League Baseball playoffs donated by pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka recently sold for $290 in an online auction for The Home for Little Wanderers, Boston's oldest and largest child and family services agency. The auction raised more than $41,000 this year, and all proceeds will benefit the thousands of children and families that The Home for Little Wanderers serves. Matsuzaka was 15-12 with a 4.40 ERA in his first season in the majors after his high-profile move from the Seibu Lions to Boston. Matsuzaka won two postseason games, helping the Red Sox win their second World Series in four years.
