No, no mind-altering substances were involved in the real life event that prompted this riddle.

He gave one away!!!

Don't know if you're kidding by that emoticon, but that's the opposite of what might have happened. He had MORE when he got home.

Maybe he also caught a homer.
But I like the 'gives one away' answer.

he brought an extra baseball to the park just in case a switcharoo was necessary to keep a milestone baseball in case the park security asked for the baseball back or had to throw back a homerun baseball. didn't happen.

but i like the first explanation most.

I was under the assumption that "had four" meant four foul balls. There's multiple answers if we're just left to guess where a magical fourth ball came from.

So if he had 4 balls, does that mean he walked home?

Someone who was with him gave him one upon arriving home?
