I have two yakee baseballs, One is a 1950 and the other is a 1951.?

My grandfather was given two Yankee baseballs for letting some ball players hunt on our cattle ranch. One is a 1950 ball and the other a 1951 ball. Micky Mantel is signed in the sweet spot on one and Joe DiMaggio is signed with Casey Stengal on the other. Yogi Berra signs his name as Hank Berra on one and Yogi on the other. How much are the two balls worth?

Question: Was the Magna Carta respected by the England's monarchs after King John the first and it seems also the last?

The Magna Carta was respected by some monarchs and ignored by others for 400 years. During this time, England's Parliament, a representative body with the power to make laws, slowly grew in influence. In 1628, when Charles I asked Parliament for more money in taxes, Parliament refused until he signed the Petition of Right.

The Petition of Right limited the king's power in several ways. Most importantly, the document demanded that the king no longer imprison or otherwise punish any person but by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land. It also insisted that the king not impose martial law (rule by the military) in time of peace, or require homeowners to shelter the king's troops without their consent.

Question: Could a medieval and renaissance noble kill a peasant on a whim and get away with it?

It happened all the time - no one except clergy and other nobles had any real rights in any sort of dispute with a noble.

In any kind of court,the word of a noble always trumped that of a peasant - and the word of any non noble witnesses giving evidence.In extremis,a noble could demand trail by combat,a fight non noble was inherently unlikely to win.

Even Magna Carta had a clause that specificaly exempted the majority of the population (so,all the serfs and peasants) from its provisions.
