Hemophilia of Georgia to benefit from baseball fan

By
ATLANTA - Ray Miller is a big baseball fan. He also likes big baseballs. <br> <br> Miller paid $9,000 for 130 giant baseballs that were used to promote the 2000 All-Star Game in Atlanta and then stored in historic Oakland Cemetery. <br> <br> He says he&#39;ll keep one but sell the rest for about $450 each to people who covet the big orbs. <br> <br> He also hopes to get one signed by all the Braves and auctioned off for his favorite charity, Hemophilia of Georgia. <br> <br> The idea of the ``All-Star Ball&#39;&#39; promotion was for corporations to pay $5,000 for one of 300 plastic orbs and commission artists to paint them. But it never got rolling, and promoters didn&#39;t even cover the cost of materials. <br> <br> Miller says they are a part of Atlanta history that he wanted to save from the landfill.
