Not only that, but this is an organization that turns a simple, reasonable request that fans refrain from cursing and wearing offensive clothing into a free speech issue:
I haven't been to the fake phony counterfeit Yankee Stadium since 2012, and I don't plan to go back any time soon, but if memory serves me right, the "souvenir" sodas were $6 - and they don't provide lids!
It's easy for someone with no vested interest to tell Hample that it's his moral obligation to give "A-Roid" the ball. I wonder, if they were to catch a mile$tone ball would they be just as quick to hand it over to the player who hit it?
