For Those Preparing To Sell Thome's 600th, Here's A Primer
Ballhawks go to games with the intention of grabbing any ball that goes in the stands, especially milestone home runs like a player's first or 500th. Most then refuse to give them back to the player unless he coughs up something valuable in return, from a signed bat or a jersey to up to $10,000. This breed of sophisticated collector now appears more determined than ever, stalking everyone from rookies like Mr. Coghlan to veteran stars such as Ken Griffey Jr.

$500 to sit with some prick ball-hawk?
Eff that noise!
I’ve never caught a ball at a game, so those ball-hawk guys can cram it with walnuts. Taking advantage of millionaires, have they no shame?!?

not for those losers.

I'd rather play lottery.
That only requires luck. This guy needs a lot of luck for the ball to come near him and then a lot more skill to beat other people to it. Weren’t a dozen people flattened into pancakes when Barry Bonds hit his 755th?
