Re: What would you trade for ...

Last year in April I was at a yankee game when robinson cano came up to ba t late in the game having already hit one home run in the game. I was just about to leave when they announced him due to bat, I walked to behind the rf stands on the field level and bang! The ball lands ten rows in front of where im standing and hits a man right in the mouth off of a bounce. After the paramedics check him out I became part of my own search and rescue, I offered him $200 and I now own robbie cano's 124th carrer hr. I have a video that shows the man celibrating with his wife with ball in hand and a photo I took with him shortly there after. In this case the ball was worth more to me than robbie

The worst tactic I have seen - Alex Rodriguez' security.

During the chase of 600th HR, Alex wanted back all the HR baseball from 590-599. When it happened at Yankee stadium, stadium security would get the fan aside. Next came, two GIANT who represent Alex's security team.

At first, they would be nice about the pending trade - "Alex want this ball back. He is willing to trade a couple signed baseball and so forth for it."

A couple of them liked the trade and a couple of them didnt.

To those who didnt like the trade and demand for something else - here is the exact quote (I was there when one of my buddy got the baseball)

"This ball will have no value whatsoever once it leaves the stadium. So you can get something for it or you have nothing of value in your hands."

Re: What would you trade for ...

if you ask me those media relations people came across and a bunch of a#$holes. Makes me not want to deal with them at all should I end up with a HR ball that they want back.
