Re: Clemens GU BB -- Check the Story!

in awnser to your question David, YES fans have automatic right to own a piece of equipment caught within the stadium. This was decided many many years ago for things like foul balls.

Okay, then. Under your other point, I would consider the ball essentially unclaimed goods. If she had stopped by to pick it up, she could have it back, but the Red Sox didn't steal it as they weren't under obligation to do anything including mail it back.

rights to the ball are given to the fans when they catch it. rights to the ball are given up when they choose to mail it in.

none of us know whether or not the original owner tried to retrive the ball. Look at mlb.com today. I have read many posts where the customer service is horrible. What makes anyone think that it was any better back then through the mail? Perhaps the original owner tried via written letters through the mail to retrieve the ball with no success. None of us will ever know.
