For the Bergman projection operator
$P$ we prove that
$$\left\| P:\,{{L}^{1}}\left( B,\,d\lambda \right)\,\to \,{{B}_{1}} \right\|\,=\,\frac{\left( 2n\,+\,1 \right)!}{n!}.$$
Here
$\lambda$ stands for the hyperbolic metric in the unit ball
$B$ of
${{\mathbb{C}}^{n}}$, and
${{B}_{1}}$ denotes the Besov space with an adequate semi-norm. We also consider a generalization of this result. This generalizes some recent results due to Perälä.
