[@Kampy_]

He also caught Mike Trout's very first career home run, and all he asked for in return was the chance to return it to him in person. Then Trout went on to become the best player in the sport, and he regretted not asking for at least a signed bat or something (which Trout eventually gave him years later) So when he got A-Rod's 3000th, he knew he had some leverage to get some signed memorabilia from him (which he did eventually)

Austin Rodriguez true

[@frasercochran4159]

To the people saying “ he should give it back” it’s like saying to a car salesman that it’s it 4000th car sold so he should get it back for free.

[@ferociouslioness]

Great analogy!

[@artelislt]

Yeee

[@roeimagz8202]

Lol i, the baseball is the product and trophy of his career which is basically his life (as a baseballer). A car seller has no attachment to a car he sells, it isn’t his. He is only an agent but a baseball hit by the player which symbolizes an achievement in his part and will go down the history ? It means mich more to the baseballer than a fan who collects just any other baseballs of any other players. Anyways i dont really care but i dont like the car analogy. It’s shallowww

[@Blitzkit]

The baseball isn't "sold" like how the car was. It's caught, for free (unless you think of the ticket you bought to get there) Good idea but a really bad analogy there. Try again.

[@frasercochran4159]

@@Blitzkit Lol, but that’s not it at all. He shouldn’t get to keep it because it is in no way his, he didn’t buy it, he didn’t stand there and catch it, he hit it, that’s his job, to hit the baseball and run as far as he can. It's not his place to say “I want that mat, because I have done a home run on it for my 50th time. Gimme gimme gimme” that might be something an entitled four year old would do, but certainly not a grown man. 🤣

Put yourself in this perspective. YOU catch Rodriguez’s 3000th hit which is a hr. I wouldn’t just give it up either.

As an astros fan I can confirm that the ones on the team who cheated were Correa, Bregman, Reddick, and the 2 who got fired from mlb as a whole. Altuve never used it to his advantage. That is just what I have heard, it may be proven wrong but that is what my sources say.

[@astrobuck7023]

Bottom line is Correa is now the most hated player in the mlb and I understand why, they did it to themselves.

A-rod should pay him what it's worth to get it back as a token of his appreciation after all the money his fans made him.

Why should he just give it up. It's worth a ton of $. A rod is plenty rich, he should compensate the fan. I wouldn't hand over 50k to anyone just to be nice

[@matthardy9486]

Jake Mitch Exactly. Who in their right mind would hand over $ like that to someone you've never met, someone wealthy at that?!? If he wants his own home run ball, he should be happy to compensate this guy for whatever he could get for it on a collector's market.
