Teams negotiate to get back homerun balls
I was just reading this article on another site http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...googlenews_wsj and wanted to get some opinions on this. I think maybe we discussed this before with Jeters 3000th hit but since it is in the news again...
The article brings up that when some fans asked for a little more than they thought was reasonable, the teams would balk on the deal and let the fan walk away with the ball. Then they act as though the fan was being unreasonable. Its interesting that if the ball would drop in the bullpen that MLB would put a sticker on it and sell it themselves for far more than the price of an autographed bat or ball! So now who is unreasonable? They expect a fan to hand over a baseball that could sell for hundreds or thousands (or millions in one case!) but when they get a hold of one they sell it for hundreds or thousands! Does anyone see the irony? What say you?
