Judge Dred (Fred)Dan,
Such a pessimist... that's exactly what I thought too... they could exchange balls on you. It could be some rookies first HR ball. It could be the next Hank Aaron's first home run ball... 20 years later you're telling all of your friends about this guys first HR ball you caught and then you see Sotheby's or whomever auctioning off that same persons FIRST HR ball. For 20 years you thought you had it but all you had was a BP (batting practice) ball with the guys signature on it.
John,
If I'm in the stands and I catch Howards 74th HR ball there is no way in hell that I'm going to give it to any usher or anybody for that matter. They're going to have to pry it from my hands after they kill me.
