Greg does seem to know a lot about a lot of things but I bet Greg does not know how ebay operates and where their interests lie. Or do you, Greg? If so, can you please give us predictions for calendar years 2025 and 2026? Wanna know if I should short the stock or not.

I do not think it takes being knowledgeable about many things to be aware that the Dodgers wanting a home run ball and being a dick about it is not comparable to the Nazi Gestapo. I am an idiot but I am vaguely aware of what the Nazi's actually were.

If this is your guys bar for intelligence, we must have a lot of sub-room temperature IQ's.

I have no idea what this has to do with predicting eBay stock values, which I have never made a single claim on in my life to a single person as far as I can recall.

I would agree with you (and Peter) that the comparison of the Dodgers' tactics to what historically has been one of the greatest atrocities man has witnessed, namely the Nazi movement, is neither a valid comparison or an appropriate one.

Ah! And the eBay reference was to a post https://www.net54baseball.com/showpo...4&postcount=17 on another thread in which you commented and was an attempt at humor. Note to self...leave the funny stuff to others.

and many of them used to announce "fan ground rules" before the game. This usually included something like "balls hit into the stands are the property of the fan." I was at a game at Yankee Stadium when a player lost his grip on a swing and the bat sailed into the stands. Later, I was downstairs at customer service when the fan brought the bat in and successfully traded it for some quality items. I think the player was David Ortiz. Balls sure to be big ticket items like Alex Rodriguez's 3000 hit are no different. Remember Zach Hample? I think he gave the ball back because of the adverse publicity, but he was remunerated in other ways. The Yankees didn't "demand" it back, they negotiated. But on the ownership side, whenever it looks like a home run might be an item for the stadium showcase, the balls receive a special hologram, and special security guards appear in likely locations to compete for the ball.
