Good to hear. I can't see how a particular player would have ownership over something like that anyway? I would think it would, and rightfully so, belong to whoever purchased the ball for use in the game. Either way, it's good to see it go to a place where hopefully the team and fans will get to appreciate it for years to come.

It doesn't apply here because the ball stayed on the field, but Barry Bonds' record setting home run set off a lot of legal analysis.

Who does the check get made out to for their time?

I don't know the answer but by the looks of that document it wasn't a cheap legal case(s)....The more writing the more billable hours, right?
