I believe it was his 667th homer, as well as his 2004th RBI; worthy of acknowledgement, or simply another asterisk in the record books for the steroid era?
Those greedy fucks A Rod and the Yankees wanted him to "give" them the ball,
Fuck them, the ball is worth tens, maybe hundred of thousands of dollars, why should an "average Joe" simply give away something worth that much to either a multi millionaire in the form of A Rod or a multi BILLION dollar corporation like the Yankees. I'd give them the right to match all offers perhaps, but IMO you'd have to be an idiot to simply give it away to the likes of either A Rod or the Yankees.

apparently the guy who caught it is a known ball catcher.
too bad he's also known for pushing kids out of the way to get what he wants...
