Back in September, there was some minor hubbub when the fan who caught Albert Pujols’ 700th homer at Dodger Stadium wasn’t interested in giving it back to the future Hall of Famer. This caused much hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth among a certain subset of baseball fans and media who have an overly romanticized view of what sports fandom should be. (And no, that isn’t intended to be a subtweet of my pal Clint, whose article is linked above in which he said it wasn’t right for the fan to keep the ball. Clint and I definitely have different opinions on this, though.
