I believe that it is.

 

Ball thrown. Ball caught. Ball Pocketed.

 

No where past Ball Thrown did it ever leave his hands.

 

Possession arrow to Doug.

Yeah i agree. I still dont see how it belongs to Boston.

That seems like a good analogy for you Chicagoians. The guy made millions for years creating the curse, now that the Red Sox have won the world series, it will be interesting to see what crap he comes up with next year.

 

If just looking at him doesn't make you angry, I don't know what does.

He looks like Dan Marino.

I'm with aboz on this one.  Also how is it the red sox ball, the game was played at busch stadium, the cardinals provided the ball not the red sox.  This is doug's ball not boston's.

 

 

Doesn't MLB provide the balls?

I heard Steve Phillips mention that while the ball is in play, it belongs to the Red Sox, or in this case the Cardinals,because the team "owns" the game on the field.

Once the ball leaves the field of play, it goes up for grabs.

Makes sense to me, since the umpires have to allow a ball to be presented to a player for a first hit, momentous hit, etc.

I believe Doug has an obligation to give the ball back to the team.

I think it's going to court and no one will win. If it goes into the stands for a walk off home run, the fan clearly has ownership. I doubt this has ever happened before.

What usually happens to a baseball after a game?

This can't be the 1st time this has happened.

It gets tossed into the equipment bag for batting practice unless a player did something like won his first game, started, etc.

Thst's not entirely true. I heard on the radio this morning Josh Becket kept the last out ball from the 2003 WS, and still keeps it in his glove under his bed. Maybe the Bosox ball is more valuable from a historic, curse-breaking standpoint, though.

Are you minimizing the value of the baseball that broke the SIX-YEAR title drought of the long-suffering Florida Marlins fans??????
