July 6, 200421 yr When Griffey Jr. hit #500, the fan who ended up with it, Mark Crummley gave if back, no questions asked. Jr. ended up giving him tons of gifts, wich included an autographed game worn jersey. It was reported yesterday that Jr then gave the family an all expense paid trip for four to the all-star game next week. Includes tickets to all the festivities and supposedly the kid will be allowed to catch balls during the HR derby. Very sweet.

Nice to see that some people are in it for the love of the game.
July 6, 200421 yr Sometimes i guess you get more by not asking for a lot in the first place and doing the "right" thing. I would give the ball back to any player if he just gave me something autographed, preferably something he used to hit it with. Of course, this excludes Bonds. I'd most likely sell a Bonds ball.
July 6, 200421 yr I read the story and that is awesome!!! What this guy is getting is 100% better than the stuff he would have gotten if he would have been a prick about giving Griff the ball. Kudos to Crummley and Kudos to Griff.
July 6, 200421 yr When I first read that, I thought the kid actually threw the ball back into the field. Of course, I was thinking about those Cubbie fans
