Alex Rodriguez is doing a great job of reaching milestones this season, but he’s not having much luck collecting keepsakes.
Zack Hample, who said he had caught over 8,000 balls at major league stadiums before he came up with Rodriguez’s 3,000th hit in the first inning on Friday when it landed in the stands in right-center, doesn’t intend to hand it over.
“I’ve always said if I catch a ball that’s [worth] life-changing money, I would consider selling it, so obviously, that’s what this is,” Hample said after the Yankees offered a chance to meet Rodriguez, get some bats and autographs and appear on the YES Network.
