The guy that caught Gall's homerun is not giving the ball up unless he gets a ball that is signed that says Gall replaced it and a jersey. The guys on the radio (590) were saying he should give it back to him and not ask for anything because he would probably get something anyways.
I caught a McGwire homer the year he hit 70. It was #7 (I think, he hit 3 that day against Arizona). I kept it and it sits on my bookshelf next to some autographed baseballs and hockey pucks. Granted it is not a homer that is like a first or 500th.
So would you give a player a ball if it meant something to them or the league?
On another note and I don't know how true this is but in Chicago, if a Cub hits a homerun and you get the ball, you get to meet the player and have them sign it. Last time I was there a guy got one from Glenn Allen Hill and the ushers carted him away quickly even though the Cubs were down by about 8 and it was the 8th inning. I was told that he got to go meet the player but have not heard anything about it at all since. If that is true, I find that very cool for the Cubs to do.
