I would see it as an act of Providence. I then would sell back to the team with the condition that all monies donated to providing food and shelter to the homeless.
If you caught Aaron Judge's 62nd homer, would you hand it over to him or keep it and sell it for 7 figures?

RoJoke are you suggesting fans unionize? And how are they getting screwed over when they choose to pay the price of admission, concessions, parking etc? They make the money because you all pay the money to see them. Don’t like it? Spend your money elsewhere.
And you have a economics degree from an Ivy. Lol
I love the "but it's a free-market" argument that ingores the fact that a union is part of the free market. Let me help educate you. WInd back the clock 55 years. Here is your post to me.
Rojo, are you suggesting the players unionize? How are they getting screwed over when they choose to play for at least $6,000 a year? They don't have to be pro ball players. If they don't like making $6,000 a year, they can choose to work elsewhere.
Game set match Rojo. Where is your economics degree from?
The fans are customers. The players are employees. Ya moron. You want to organize a boycott go for it. Good luck.
Your parents should get back that bribe money for that false degree.

Because being exploited by your employer is totally the same as choosing to attend an baseball game. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised a child of privilege can’t see the difference.

No question, I'd give it to him. Now, today I am very wealthy, so I don't need a million dollars or whatever you (Rojo) think I might get from it, but let me check my integrity and see what I would have done when I was just starting out (thinking about this)...I would have given it to him. I actually didn't even have to think about it...did that for suspense!
Though the ball might have some dollar value, it doesn't mean anything to me but it would to him. Just because baseball players make an insane amount of money doesn't mean they owe me anything. Should Judge pay for everyone's meal when he walks into a restaurant?
Greed is never a good thing to participate in. Avoid greed 100% of the time, and you'lll be better off for it.
The right thing is to give him the ball.
You must have sold your business for a bundle. Good for you.
Nope. I invested heavily since 1989 and retired earlier this past summer.

I can't believe I said I'd give it to him 15 years ago. This fan didn't and made $3 million off of it.

If you sell it back to the team the money is yours to do what you want with. So yes donate it.

After all this discussion, watch any record setting ball end up landing in the bullpen.
Bump (yeah, it was just the record equaling ball, but still.)

So will Todd McFarlane be in on this one or has he had enough?
