Douchebag holds MLB player's first HR ball for ransom

I really hope that's true since that means a hefty tax bill for this ballhawking turd, even if he refuses to sell it.

 

I would just would just wait until the asshole died then buy the ball off his widow.

 

He was on the Hang Up and Listen podcast this week. Quite the mix of intelligence, narcissism and OCD/Asperger's.

 

I am not defending this douchebag in particular, but if a Joe Sixpack catches that Arod 3000 ball and decides unequivocally to keep it, does the board still hammer him?

 

We are told when lockouts/strikes occur that fans shouldn't take it personally, it's just business. He still comes across as a douchebag but I don't see this as being any different.

 

Agreed. Players and owners long ago entered into a "business arrangement" with fans. No room for sentimentality when it comes to fans catching historic baseballs anymore.

 

A happy ending: Alex Rodriguez of New York Yankees getting the baseball from his 3,000th hit after all

 

Well, dude managed to get 150K for his favorite charity. Douchebag or not, bice move.

 

I want to know what said "perks" are.

 

Yankees opened the wallet for charities in a big way today.
