And people, please stop saying you'd give it back to a player. It was never their property to begin with
IMO that's totally uncalled for. Not giving back hundreds of thousands of dollars that are rightfully yours so that a ballplayer who is worth hundreds of millions and is perfectly able to buy it himself if he so chooses IMO does not make someone a "money-grubber." If someone wants to really do something positive they can donate it to charity or something along those lines.bradical said:JoshHamilton said:I'd sell it. No brainer.

It was never your property to begin with, either.
I am not surprised by the poll, but there are a lot of money grubbers on here. For me, I go to a game to enjoy the game, not to try and cash-in. I would gladly hand the ball-over, no strings attached, knowing that I did my part in a players history.

I don't think there's anything uncalled for here. The 'leaching off of/extorting others who can afford it mentality' and the 'lotto mentality' aren't things to be proud of when they're used as an excuse to avoid earning a living through good, honest work.
I think we'd all agree that if the guy was truly destitute, the Yankees would've found out and taken extra measures for a variety of reasons. Kudos for the guy for being a role model here.
On that note, I have a hard time thinking this ball is worth a quarter mil to begin with.
