    Pujols #600 ball - given back to Albert

    Let me start by saying, big time props to the fan who gave Albert the ball he hit out for #600. What a classy move!

    Now to shift gears a little, unless that 23 year old kid is loaded, what a dumb move! Yes, I honestly feel both ways about it.

    The kid says he "doesn't feel like the ball belonged to him" despite it landing in his glove. I disagree completely. So, basically, (and I know we are speculating on the value) but at least a 5 figure chunk of cash landed fair and square in the kids glove, and he is giving it for free to a man making $26 million this year? Now, I am sure that even though the kid has not asked for anything, Albert may very well do something for him, I know Albert is a good guy and I am in no way trying to say anything negative about him.

    But I'd love to hear what you would honestly do if you caught that ball...

    I'm conflicted as well. What an honor it would be to hand the ball the player and shake his hand to say congrats....at the same time, it sure would be nice to know that my kids' college tuition is paid for.....

    I'd trade it for a Trout bat, auction the Trout bat and thus get back about half the ball's value while making Albert happy in the process. Win/Win.

    I feel both ways too but for sure would get something back out of the deal after all here is a guy that sells his services to which ever team will pay the most for them. I am sure that he would not go play for a small market team for minimum wage, what is it now $540K, or even $5 Million. I would not feel bad for doing the same thing he is doing.

    College tuition paid for - no brainer. Ken would be getting a nice addition to his auction. I like to think I would do what a " fan " would do and hand the ball back. Having said this, reality sets in with bills to pay and this would take some problems off the table.
