David Wells Might Have the Greatest Sports Collectible Ever

Barry Bonds sure was in a giving mood over the weekend. After hitting career home run No. 755 on Saturday, he was kind enough to send pitcher Clay Hensley a souvenir bat. But that's not the only collectible he shared. Bonds also made pitcher David Wells a very lucky man.

Padres left-hander David Wells is a baseball collector of sorts and one of his prize possessions just grew a lot more valuable.
Wells has an old, grainy, yellowing baseball that he purchased for $7,000 with a Babe Ruth signature scrawled across the sweet spot. Since the purchase, he had Hank Aaron sign the ball during a Padres trip to Atlanta, and on Sunday, he added the name of Barry Bonds in the left fielder's unmistakable script.

That may give Wells the only ball that has the signatures of the top three all-time Major League home run hitters on it.

Yeah, I'd venture to guess that Wells has the only ball with all three signatures on it. Lucky for him, he should be around to get A-Rod, Pujols, or whomever else joins that elite group. Maybe Wells knew what he was doing when he publicly supported Bonds earlier in the year. And like I said, Wells' ball could be the greatest sports collectible of all-time.
