Give it back to Bonds in exchange for jerseys, signed bats/balls, etc. He's the one who hit it, he should be the one to keep it.

I think MLB has the right to demand the ball from the fan who caught it. Didn't a judge preemptively rule back in the Mientkiewicz-Sox case that all baseballs are exclusive property of major league baseball and transference of ownership is not automatically implied by fans that catch a baseball rather that the MLB must award them ownership? (I remember that the Sox were claiming the ball was "theirs" exclusively as opposed to either Mientkiewicz or MLB.)

I don't think so, that ball was in play (he was playing 1st and received the throw, then held onto the ball). Once they leave the field of play I think they're fair game.

The point of contention the Sox made was that MLB doesn't have exclusive rights to the ball, that the team does and pointed to the fact that fans are "allowed" to keep the ball which was considered by the Sox to be a team decision, not a MLB one.

That would be gay if they asked for da ball back

I'd hold a public explosion of the ball.

Yeah, Barry, the Giants, or MLB would have to offer something to get the ball back. That's almost a better question. What would you demand baseball give you for you to give up the ball? Season tickets? The eradication of your least favorite team? A Klondike Bar?

Sell it to the highest bidder. Whether its barry, mlb or some random millionaire who wants it for his personal collection.

now thats not a bad idea, pretend you'll do that and hold the ball for ransom threaten to blow it up and drive up the value of the ball you'd get more money out of it.

and no one would fight for it once you caught it, when you catch security guards will immediately swarm you and escort you to safety.

Wow imagine if u actaully catched it tho

i wonder how someone can keep it long enough to get home with it. If somebody knew you have the ball they will beat the **** out of you for it.
