The story is simply outstanding.

I know a lot of people don't think so, but, by and large, there still are a lot of great people in this world. I see it every day - someone opening the door for an older person - someone letting a person go before them in the checkout line because they only have 1 item - someone taking the time to compliment someone they have ever met.

Unfortunately, way too often the bad stuff captures the headline.

The big question is, did the guy who caught it know how valuable it was? Of course it's a nice thing to see either way, but I would not even slightly blame the guy for keeping it if he knew.. That's a huge (and potentially life-changing) amount of money for lots of people.

I think the ball is closer to 10 to 15K but who knows.

I heard the Philly Karen is flying to Seattle to claim the ball was hers.
