With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 7 of the 1962 World Series-- with the Yankees leading 1-0--the Giants’ Willie Mays doubled to

Something good has come from that 1962 World Series in which the Yankees beat the Giants in seven games.

A baseball from that World Series, signed by many of the Yankees players, was sold for $30,000 at a silent auction in Liberal, Kansas, over the weekend and will be used to build a memorial for

Kaiser Carlile, a 9-year-old boy who was killed when he was accidentally struck by a bat during a National Baseball Congress World Series game in Wichita, Kansas.

According to the Wichita Eagle, the baseball was donated by

Randy Watson, who got it from Yankees pitcher

Ralph Terry, the MVP of the ’62 Series. Terry and Watson are both from Kansas.

Watson said he decided to donate the autographed baseball because his little brother Rudy died from similar circumstances in 1966, when the 13-year-ol was struck in the head by a foul ball. Signatures on the baseball include

Mickey Mantle,

Yogi Berra,

Bobby Richardson,

Roger Maris and

Whitey Ford.
