OT: Home Run Jackpot

Sitting at a bar the other day, one of the drunks mentioned that if/when Aaron Judge hits 62 homers, that ball is estimated to be worth between $800,000 and $1.2 million. The question came up "what would you do?" if you caught that ball. The drunk said he's got so much respect for Judge, he'd give the ball to him and hope that maybe he'd get some cool stuff like a signed bat and some free game tickets. The bartender is an avid Red Sox fan. She HATES the Yankees but admits she respects Judge as a player and a person. Regardless, she says she'd chuck the ball back onto the field and want nothing in return. I find it hard to believe that a middle-aged woman who tends bar for a living would throw away a million bucks, but anyway that's what she said. When they asked me, I said there is no way in hell I would give that ball back. I would put it up for auction and if Judge wants it bad enough, he can bid for it and pay me. The drunk and the bartender both said that's a real dick move, especially since Judge is such a nice guy / gentleman. My reasoning, which I explained to them, is if you happened to meet Aaron Judge walking down the street and you said, "Hey Aaron Judge! You don't know me, but how about writing me a check for a million dollars?" Do ya think he'd do it? Of course not. So why in the world should I give him a million dollars? What would you do? By the way, a few minutes ago he hit #61 tying Roger Maris's record. It landed in the Blue Jays bullpen so getting the ball back to him wasn't an issue. Also the Blue Jays fans were classy and gave him a standing ovation.
