No, but an AA guy’s 100th HR ball doesn’t have value. As a fan at a baseball game, one of the implied contracts that you make with the ball club is that if you catch a baseball, it’s yours to keep. It’s not like the NBA, where if a ball goes in the stands, they retrieve it. Because the guy effectively “owned” the ball once he caught it, why is it less than ethical for him to ask for something in return for the ball? Why is giving the ball away for free the “right thing to do?”
>>Why is giving the ball away for free the “right thing to do?”<<
We all attune our moral compasses according to our understanding of what is right.
I think giving the guy who hit the ball back to him since it is of significance is the right thing to do and certainly the class thing to do.
Your compass may turn a different way.
