I would love to see it, but I can't blame a guy for selling a ball for $2 million. Here's a better idea. Catch the ball, whip out a sharpie, write your name on the ball and then throw it back onto the field. That way, your name will be on that ball in Cooperstown for years to come.

That right there is an AWESOME idea...Good stuff pal
-
Or maybe someone will take a syringe out and stab the ball with it before throwing it back. Let's get real about this. Nobody will pass up 6 or 7 figures just to make a good story in the news. That one week of fame may earn a spot on The Tonight Show, but is it worth throwing away the chance at a couple million bucks?

Peter Sweeney is a self righteous asshole. Anyone who would turn down the opportunity to better their families and their own station in life to prove a meaningless point (which isn't theirs to prove in the first place) should have their head examined.

Right? If I catch that thing you will see me on TV sporting it. Remember me now bitches!

Throw it back. I can honestly say that throwing the ball back makes more sence. You can keep it and sell it for 2mil, or you can throw it back in protest and spend the next two months of your life on TV talk shows getting paid.

Rule Number 2009: Thou Shalt Not Tweet at Halftime
Athens, GA (Mar 18, 2009) - This little tidbit was tweeted by friend and colleague Alan Lepofsky. It seems that Milwaukee Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva may be a bit too addicted to Twitter.
