Throw It Back!

[tomm10]

In my mind, the tradition remains that if you catch it/pick it up, its yours. That's my feeling regardless of the circumstances surrounding the ball's departure from the field. However, I think the player who hit it sometimes has a bigger claim to it by virtue of what the hit meant to him.

If I were in the position of having a ball a player wanted back, I would give it to him for all the free loot he could throw my way and a visit to the clubhouse to meet the team. Worth it to me.

As far as those million dollar balls are concerned, I'd be willing to sell it back. The only exception is any ball hit by Barry Bonds. I would go out of my way to make sure he never got that ball. I hate him.

Well, the way it's going so far, Pujols just might break Bonds record for HRs in a season.

If the pitchers will pitch to him!

UncaBret, has anyone asked you where you live, and you replied "normal", and they said, "no, not how are you?" ..and you kept saying "normal"?

I would do that just to mess with people...

I wouldn't "throw" it back... I'd walk down to the edge of the field where the guy's standing, and tell him I'll trade it to him if he'll sign a different one for me... (and maybe a hat... and a jersey... j/k sorta.) Both walk away with something sentimental, you both win.
