I'm probably in the minority, but I would give it back without a thought. Yes, they make millions, and yes, some are completely out of touch with us fans. However, a career milestone such as that belongs to the player, IMHO. It totally sucks for the players that the piece of memorabilia that represents reaching the heights of their professions instantly becomes the possesion of strangers. None of the rest of us have to deal with that. Maybe I am just a sucker for nostalgia, though.
Anyway, yes, I know that it can be an instant financial windfall, but like the fan on Saturday I feel the rightful owner is the one who hit it into the seats.
