Ely Hydes, who caught the Albert Pujols home run on May 9 at Comerica Park—which also happened to be Pujols' 2,000th RBI—decided to give the ball to the Baseball Hall of Fame last month, according to Tony Paul of The Detroit News.
According to that report, "The ball was given the designation as being donated in the name of Cyrus Arlo Maloney, Hydes' son who was 21 months old when he died suddenly on June 11, 2018. Cyrus, named after Cy Young, was a regular at Comerica Park and loved baseball, even at his age.
