Here’s a nostalgic baseball yarn on the eve of next week's All-Star game.
filed in federal court in Utica, New York, he claims that the bat, which was inscribed with his signature under his contract with bat-maker Hillerich & Bradsby, is his property -- and the Hall of Fame won’t give it back. Pepitone, a first baseman who played 12 years in the majors, is demanding its return, plus at least $1 million in damages.
Pepitone said he agreed to lend the bat to the Hall of Fame, even though the Yankees took it from his locker without his consent. Over the years, he alleges in his lawsuit, he was repeatedly assured by Hall of Fame officials that the museum would return the bat to him if he asked for it.
The statute of limitations in New York for conversion and replevin is three years. The Hall of Fame has been in possession of the disputed bat since 1967, nearly 55 years. But the statute of limitations may not have been running for all of that time.Guggenheim v. Lubell
