Re: Pujols #600 ball - given back to Albert

And I've always wondered about this. Doesn't the ball technically belong to the pitcher? He touched it, he threw it and if its a ball or strike it goes back to him. The hitter never touches it or really even gets within 2 feet of it any at point really.

A ball that was tattooed 400 plus feet no longer belongs to the pitcher. The hitter now owns it. Reminds me of the movie Major League 2 when Charlie sheen tells jack Parkman if he can hit the next pitch he can name it. Parkman crushes a homer and says "I think I'll name it the masturbator". Lol love that scene

Pujols or any player reaching such a milestone should give the fan some $$ for forfeiting what could have been. Anyone reaching the 500 or 600 Homerun milestone certainly can afford it.

agreed. the fan shouldnt even have to ask for anything in return - pujols is so loaded he should have just offered a wad of $ to the guy who caught it.

absolutely would have sold it. does anyone remember what the guy who caught arod's milestone ball got for it from arod a few years back? was it #600 or #661 i believe? didnt ballhawk come down with that one?

If tables were turned, I guarantee pujols would keep it and sell it

The guy who caught Hank Aaron's 700th homer was given 700 silver dollars for it at the time.
