Red Sox fan Robert Fraser, a Westwood, N.J., real-estate broker, told the AP that he and his wife bought the item for $74,000 in 2007. Now it will be sold again, 100 years after Boston won it, in Fenway Park's first season. This time, it's expected to bring in more than $300,000, according to Dallas-based Heritage Auctions.
