^ you gotta link? I saw after the game he was sitting there by the dugout waiting. Was hoping they would show what was happening next.

It was what they said on Sports Center this AM.

Shuster grabbed the historic ball and said he wouldn't give it back to A-Rod, who has admitted using performance-enhancing drugs in the past and was suspended for the entire 2014 season for violating the league's PED rules. Before the ban, Rodriguez unsuccessfully tried negotiating his way out of it.

Yankees team security tried getting the ball for Rodriguez, but Shuster wouldn't cough it up.

Smart businessman holding on to that ball

Or just a Red Sox douchebag who is going to destroy the ball

Headley.   

What'd he do? I just now turned the game on.

Routine popup just beyond the infield and he was battling the sun. Stumbled backwards and fell on his tush. Ball dropped in front of him for a hit.

I consider myself a baseball purist and traditionalist, yet I have never for the life of me been able to comprehend why plays like this shouldn't be ruled an error. Change the damn rules.

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Yeah, I completely agree.

Probably about 10 years ago or so now lol), A-Rod was charged with an error on a dropped fly ball in foul territory. The randomness of rulings is mind boggling.

Earlier this week Marisnick was stealing second base, and it was a bang bang play, but the SS ended up dropping the ball on a very tough catch and tag. He was charged with an error, and the reason given on TV from the offical scorer was the umpire was signaling the call the runner out, but flipped his call when he saw the ball on the ground

luis castillo dropping that pop fly should've been ruled a hit

Shuster reportedly arrived late and bought the last single-seat ticket remaining atop the Monster. A fan sitting to Shuster’s left told the Post he would have thrown the baseball back onto the field, but that wasn’t in the cards. Shuster seemingly has bigger plans in mind.

“It’s a questionable ball,” Shuster told the Post. “Throwing it back definitely makes a statement, but that’s done all the time for a lot of things. I think something different should be done with this ball with greater significance. I’m not sure what that is yet. I thought about blowing the ball up and making a video of it.”

So you can get YouTube hits? C'mon, think more creatively

Twins offense beginning to warm up. I was wondering how much longer a top 10 offense was going to keep scuffling.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Yanks keep rolling. Pitching staff is doing well
