Whoever pays the most $$$ gets it.
I'm not a Yankees or Jeter fan, so I would have gotten as much as I could for it from the highest bidder.
Id take that shit and run, and sell it on ebay.
I dont care if it makes me a douchebag, id be the douchebag with a $200k house paid for in cash and a C6Z in the driveway also paid for in cash.
Only a fool would give it back for free.... those guys are multi-millionaires and the owner is a billionaire.. I be damned if my broke ass is just gonna give it up for free.
I caught a Prince Fielder home run ball at Miller Park. It was for the MLB record # of home runs in May or something. The Brewers officials found me in the stadium, gave me a Prince autographed ball and bat for the ball. I traded no questions asked.
As for a $250,000 ball..not sure it would be as easy.

You should have traded then knocked them out with the bat and took the ball back like a boss.
I mean I did do that. Then I climbed to the top of the cat walk, put on a small parachute, jumped from the roof of Miller Park and landed on top of a semi-truck going by on I94. Then Megan Fox (pre-surgery) pulled up on a turbocharged Hayabusa and I leaped from the roof of the moving semi at the same time she slid to the back seat and I landed perfectly in riding position. I was halfway to New York by the time the guy woke up.

Was the semi Optimus Prime?

should slid to the back and let her keep driving the bike and just did her from behind while on the bike

You would also be getting taxed on that 250K so im pretty sure it wouldnt be as grand as you think.

Hell no, if he wanted to pay me, say, half a million for it sure he can have it, otherwise id advertise to all sports marketing centers and sports memorabilia collectors that I have it and put it up for auction. Either way I'd be happy.
i would of say "SHOW ME THE MONEY" lol

Maybe I'm naive or stupid, but I don't feel it's "mine". It's his accomplishment, without him that ball means nothing. And frankly, he's the only person on Earth that is truly going to appreciate it. Anyone else is just a collector looking for pats on the back from friend's or to stare at it and admire it's value ($$$).
I would expect they would trade me something that I could keep in my home to have the memory of catching it (a signed picture of me, Jeter, and the ball would suffice), I'd gladly take anything else they would offer (bats, balls, tickets, signed stuff, meeting the team, etc.) and I would request that I personally got to hand the ball to Derek and shake his hand.
How would you feel if your kid hit his first ever home run at Pop Warner and you politely went with your son to the kid that caught it hanging out behind the home run fence and he refused to give it back because he felt entitled to it?
Who cares if it was taxed. Its not like your out anything. Did the ball come attached with a bill?
