do u think it was worth all the drama that those 2 guys went through? after splitting the proceeds & paying off lawyer fees they wont have much. guess they figure they could get 1-3 million like Big Mac's HR ball. plus, the economy had a part w/ the low price.
would u done the same as them if u was in one of their shoes?
i think i would of done the same but in a different way. i wouldnt of attacked the other person in the media like how Alex Popov did to Patrick Hayashi.
then again, i honestly dont know cus w/ my luck i will never experience something like this.

Barry Bonds homerun search didn't have the draw of the McGwire/Sosa one. The record had stood for alot longer and many of the people that watched hadn't watched the last homerun race. (as it happened 20+ years beforehand.)

Modern baseball seems to have become a parody of its past glory. The same with Disneyland.

I think I understand why americans fight over a ball when it hits the benches. it's not all sports-enthusiasm after all

wasn't popov the one that got ****ed in this whole deal? didn't he catch the ball and then hayashi raped him and claimed joint ownership of the ball? or maybe the names are switched.
I remember seeing one person clearly catch it and then getting jumped by everyone around him, he definitely had possesion of the ball...
