Now he's a villain for not paying auction house high market value to get his ball back from a fan who wanted nothing in return.

That's right. He's a villain for taking advantage of the poor schmuck.
Remember 1961? (I know fifty years is a long time.) Sal Durante, who caught Maris' 61st, offered to give it to Maris, even though a California restaurateur had a standing offer of $5k for the ball. Maris wouldn't accept the ball, and told Durante--who was about to get married and start a family--to sell it.
Class acts, all around.
