And what's weird is, all the fan wanted in return for giving the ball back, was another ball - autographed by Jeter. Why would a White Sox fan want that?
Being a fan of a team doesn't mean you have hatred burning through your veins for all other players on all other teams. I've bled Cubbie blue my entire life, but I've still got baseballs with autographs from Jamie Moyer, Mike Mussina, Frank Thomas, Robin Ventura, Ken Griffey, Jr., Roy Oswalt and Robin Yount.
^ So if this had happened to you at Wrigley, you would not throw it back?
A rookie umpire just called a clear home run that bounced off the yellow line and off the back wall a double on Brian McCann.
They went to replay it and the crew chief came out with a big smile and told McCann to run the bases.
Walk-off homer to cap a 6 run rally against the Marlins!!!

Absolutely, classless. Also, in most parks, it's against the rules, and will get you ejected from the park. They treat it the same as if you were throwing anything ELSE out on the field. Can't let people throw the balls back out on the field, and then get pissy if Phillies fans wanna throw batteries instead, I suppose...
Can we throw battery powered exploding baseballs? Only at JD Drew, of course.
Really?
I didn't know it was illegal to throw back a ball (it happens often enough), but I do know this: a fan who catches a ball has the absolute right to KEEP it. They don't have to give it to the team or anyone else.
A few months ago, the idiot security guys at Tropicana Field tried to force a fan to give back a ball that got hit to him. They even had a cop physically DRAG THE GUY OUT OF HIS SEAT and interrogate him.

Don't forget those syringes they threw at Bonds a few years back...
^ Ah yes, the same city which, when Michael Irvin suffered a career ending football injury at the Vet, actually CHEERED.
The Syringes thing is the first I heard. A google search says Petco field in San Diego, but I'm sure it was a Philly fan who went there anyway.
Also, without googling it (assuming I haven't already asked you), what year did we boo Santa Claus?

Yeah, they were upset because the Eagles had blown their chance to draft OJ Simpson by winning their last two games (they were 0-11 before that point), but were completely incapable of winning their final game while the fans were forced to watch in slush covered seats because nobody bothered to clean them off. So they took their anger out on Joe Olivo, a drunk guy who wore an ill-fitting Santa suit to the game in order to get the attention of the cameras (the actual Santa they planned to use didn't make it to the stadium). Then the float broke down, so he had to go in by foot. At that point the crowd lost it and vented all their anger about the entire season and the Eagles' incompetence on one man.
Besides, we didn't boo him, we threw snowballs at him. Get it right.
Here's the link to show it was San Diego that threw the syringe.

^ AFAIK, the regular Santa wasn't even there, he couldn't make it because of the weather.
