It was a home run -- not talking about running out on to the field and getting rocked by security.
The ball was estimated to be worth 300-400k.
The guy who caught it gave it right to Jeter. The Yankees gave him a crap ton of stuff (free tickets for the rest of the year) but I'm thinking I would rather have the money. Pretty stand up of the guy to give it up like that.
Guys who caught Bonds' home runs made out like bandits, he could have done quite well for his family. Paid for his kids' education for life. So what would you have done?
