xnonono2x Not cool at all. If you are going to try to get something out of the guy in exchange for the ball that's fine. But 10k? Lets be reasonable.

If I caught someone's HR ball, all I would ask for is a picture with the player holding the baseball, with the player's autograph, as a memento to celebrate not only his first HR, but my catch as well. It's sad that so many people in this world are driven by material possessions and greed.

As Lao-Tzu once said, "He who knows he has enough is rich."


As the poet William Blake once said:

He who binds himself to joy,
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses joy as it flies,
Lives in eternity's sunrise.
