Clint Eastwood signed four baseballs for officers while he was filming his new movie, "Trouble with the Curve." The police department put them on ebay to raise money for Special Olympics.
DUNWOODY, Ga. (WXIA) -- Dunwoody Police plan to raise money for Special Olympics of Georgia by giving one of three baseballs autographed by Clint Eastwood to the highest bidder on eBay.
Eastwood signed the baseballs for officers while he was filming his new movie, "Trouble with the Curve," which is scheduled to be released in September.
"We approached him about signing baseballs for the Special Olympics work that we do at the police department, and he gladly did," said Dunwoody Police Sgt. Fidel Espinoza.
Eastwood joined co-stars Justin Timberlake and Amy Adams to shoot scenes on the baseball field at Dunwoody High School in April.
"He was just very down to earth, very approachable," Sgt. Espinoza said. "We were most impressed with that."
Sgt. Espinoza said Eastwood also agreed to take pictures with the officers.
"He began talking to us about his work as the Honorary Chair of the National Law Enforcement Museum and Monument in Washington," Sgt. Espinoza said.
The baseball comes with a "Certificate of Authenticity" signed by Dunwoody Police Chief Billy Grogan.
