Balls!

[r3port3r66]

Alex Popov, 38, sued Patrick Hayashi for Barry Bond's 73rd homerun baseball, worth more than $1 million by one estimate. Popov was first to get a glove on it, but Hayashi came away with the ball after a minute-long melee in the right field walkway of Pacific Bell park, on Oct. 7, 2001.

My question is; who do you think should get to keep the ball; the first person to catch it, or the last person holding it?

the first person to catch it

Agreed.

Tough call. "Get a glove on it" could mean several things. If it brushed his glove, for example, I don't think it's his. If it landed in his glove and bounced out instantly through some fault of his own, too, I don't think it should be his.

I've seen the video, but more or less completely forgotten it. However, if he really did CATCH it, but only lost it while being pushed around, then yes, I think the decision is clear.

Such as a safe sex message.
