Also on the auction block is the ball that Hank Aaron (remember him?) pounded out of Fulton County Stadium more than 20 years ago to set the all-time home run record. Got your checkbook ready?

Hillary roped in $1 million for Schumer and $1.6 million for Barbara Boxer, who won a close Senate race in California. She played a key role in Tom Vilsack's last-minute shocker over former G.O.P. Congressman Jim Lightfoot in the Iowa Governor's race. The Vilsack campaign crested when Hillary was there...
