Fan Refusing To Give Up Alex Rodriguez's 3000th Ball: 'I'm Not Trying to Be a Jerk' 

Chuck Douglas 😂😂

Yeessss

Bahaha! Sounds perfect

It wouldn’t get past the top layer lol

1000th like

I have no idea what you’re talking about, that’s clearly just *a* baseball

@@randombeingonearth5947 he has a lot of baseballs and says there just a few here

Yeah only just a few😂😂

It kinda makes zack sound like a a-hole

Saying that until your the one with the ball

@@reallycoolcat2686 I don't get it.

Welcome to social media, how may I take your brain cells? lmao

Probably because many people have called him out in that way?

exactly

No ones giving a million for a damn baseball.

@@tmproductions18 exactly

@@tmproductions18 you'd be surprised, rare baseball cards have been valued in the millions and this specific ball is extremely rare considering it's a 3000th hit.

@@damagedone115 well that’s a baseball card

He wasn't going to sell it for anything

You gotta enjoy yourself by playing with your balls every now and then.

Lmao

@@Enthusiast230 that doesn't sound right...

@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C who asked you to show up?

@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C ok and?

8000 balls is crazy. I dont watch baseball but I know fans would be happy to get 1 from a game.

@Billy Bob he gives baseballs to people at his games all the time

@Billy Bob Whine about it he does all the leg work and DOES give alot of balls to kids. Its his hobby and you lack the right or status to judge him for it lmfao

@@Aloso930 interesting that its "his games" lmao never knew being a fan entitled u to call it your game read a book moron

@Billy Bob what's with people telling other ppl what to do with their stuff? why don't you go catch 8k balls and give it to 8k children? as if a baseball ball would matter anyway

What the guy should do is trade him. The ball for a signed picture of him and A-Rod with the ball

@@nicholascooper8958 That wouldn't be worth nearly as much as you think. A photo of him, ballcatcher, in it would personalize the item and devalue it considerably.

That’s if the catcher chooses to sell it and his words don’t sound so promising.

@@SMBH-M87 ok, then just A-Rod with the ball

He got the ball

Lmao

Yup, 100 percent.

That's pretty accurate

Ikr

Definitely

r/suddenlygay

Did he pay for it?

@@PWRMindset you never pay for the balls you catch in the crowd, you always keep them

@@PWRMindset no why would he its a baseball hit into the crowd once it goes in the stands it's fair game.

@@kewlman5417 yes let's do that in the bathroom

He gave to to A Rod for a signed jersey and bat

Papa bless

If u dint play u wouldn't understand the milestone

not to mention, he caught the ball and it’s his sorry, it is what it is

Don’t you have better things to do Jonny? Like go after some black people 😏😂

The click bait for this one is very off and should be changed

Pretty sure I watched that video

Bri Zaring weird video your going to show bryce

yeah but in what case does the player NEED the ball back 😂

Jason Shaw honestly I don’t even know tbh

There is a big reason to give it back. It is a major accomplishment that only few players have succeeded in and it was a homerun which makes it all the better.

Marty Clinger did he ask for it back?

Angela Hagerman It’s a legendary accomplishment it’s so hard to do they usually let them keep the ball as prize for a accomplishment only a couple people out of millions of people have done

Hopefully he wont be shocked when a rod comes and just beats the holy hell out of him lmaooo

He gave the ball back. The catch was they had to donate like 50k to some baseball charity

AlphaPath ok now that was a good way to do it possibly the best way to do it tbh 10/10

nygiants imagine laughing at the idea of an innocent man getting beat up. seriously, you need some help

LMAO yeah true

There’s always someone playing victim. 😊

J W like you

@@Murad_69 yeah how stop falsely accusing someone

@@Murad_69 I bet it was your salty ass

Couldn't said it better

He also caught Mike Trout's very first career home run, and all he asked for in return was the chance to return it to him in person. Then Trout went on to become the best player in the sport, and he regretted not asking for at least a signed bat or something (which Trout eventually gave him years later) So when he got A-Rod's 3000th, he knew he had some leverage to get some signed memorabilia from him (which he did eventually)

That was beautifully said.

Nice.

best comment on here

That is an excellent point that I hadn't thought of.

right.... I honestly would have sold it because I need the money but everyone else is jealous acting like they would give it back if it was them but I think they're forgetting it could be valued close to $50,000

The people who told him to give it back would’ve just snagged it for themselves

Generally, when you give the ball back, the player will give you something in return. In the past, Zack has netted baseball bats signed by guys who's home run balls he caught. Bats seem cooler, but for Zack, he just loves the balls and the memory of making the catch.

@@GeorgeOfAIITrades not all player will do the same thing tho

@@GeorgeOfAIITrades if he gives the ball back there’s no guarantee the player could just take the ball and walk away

Phinix tru

Phinix Not when it's a piece of MLB memorabilia

Phinix ya i go with u he caught is it's his

GAMINGFORLIFE1735 bro that's like saying " you found a piece of gold from the ground, give it back, it's a piece of the earth."

+GAMINGFORLIFE1735 You must be trolling.

He has already traded the ball. This is one very old story.

Making it to the MLB is more impressive than being a fan

@@d2rkie obviously? What's your point here lmao

@@ina3872 Implying that he wants the dude to have the ball im just saying

@@d2rkie willing to be that the likelihood of being in the path of 8k balls in your lifetime is less than becoming a MLB player. Being in the MLB is more by chance than it is skill based anyway, there's plenty of capable baseball players

@@d2rkie not very impressive, just lucky

kookas 11 that'd be the greatest day of my life

If this guy grabbed the ball without snatching it out of someone's hands or pushing them away, then he deserves it.

He gives the majority he gets now away to charity or kids who haven’t got a ball

kookas 11 also snagging balls is really his main source of income by uploading them to RU-vid

ooo

fk yeah

Even if the player did ask for it back, he can just refuse and get still wouldnt be a jerk in my book. If A Rod really wanted that ball back, he has enough money to buy it back. And if A Rod cant offer this dude enough money to convince him to sell him the ball back, then clearly the dude wants the ball more than A Rod does.

@@justintime2026 Good point

@@justintime2026 Wait but its not his property tho, how does baseball work?

SARTHAK SRIVASTAVA 😂😂😂

Les gold would offer him $3

He sends it to MLB and they put a shiny little sticker on it.

Leo Bowman no he means he could gove any ball from his 3000 collection instaed of giving the actual ball

They used a special ball. If you look carefully the have 1 and R already stamp on the ball

Anime ASMR 8000*

Anime ASMR the hologram that MLB put on it is tamperproof. That’s how they would know. The number on that hologram is in their database as the actual ball. If he tried to remove it and put it on another ball it would destroy the hologram.

Why somebody's on their period.

You can catch more than one ball at a game pretty sure if you’re lucky

Flyout

@Dylan Jones Jr You're an idiot

The logic here is as clear as a brick wall. I think making your 3000th hit a dinger is a major milestone. Its stadium courtesy to give back a players first career home run but I dont see why that wasnt enforced here since it was such a milestone.

@@bro89174 r/wooosh

Junior Raymond r/wooosh

that he caught,himself and paid to be at all those games so its not like they were free. evey ticket he bough paid for the right to catch a ball,he just happens to be the worlds greatest at it. how much does it cost to attend a major league baseball game anyway?

trillriff-axegrinder $8

trillriff-axegrinder by pushing people out of the way lol I’m 23 an have caught a couple homerun balls and guess who got them? The little kid that was close to me not myself. This man is a weirdo.

trillriff-axegrinder and by the way on average I pay $65 a ticket to $125 and been to over a couple dozen games lmao tickets aren’t expensive if you buy them at the right time

Jeremy Ganther He’s a weirdo for enjoying things? Lmao bro sorry but it’s not like he’s breaking the law, and in the video I didn’t really see him shove anyone to get the ball, I mean the whole crowd moved, so. Let’s say your hobby was football. You’re a weirdo for liking football since I don’t like football. Does that seem fair to you? Nothing seems weird about him catching baseballs in a baseball game XD

He also holds the record for being the worlds biggest virgin

Not his favorite it's technically his charity. Correct me if I'm wrong though

@@1_1898 Technically not wrong but if presented in that manner it is a half truth which is also a lie. Not saying it was presented as if it wasn't his charity but if it had been it would be a lie

@@noxycodonenobody oh I’m sorry can your own charity not get money any more? Tell me one way they can make money without donations nor advertising.

Austin Rodriguez true

you mean fair and round?

Arron I see what you did there😂 horrible joke but it made me laugh

Arron 🤣 😂

If it were me, I would give the ball back to A-ROD....if he could afford it.

chel simpson if it were me is do the right thang and give it back

chel simpson this is the real world not everyone is nice enough to give it back

Well its not the right thing to give it back cause its pretty much his. Not trying to be mean here but thats what I think he has the right to keep it. And there is no right thing the man catches balls for his videos and books and thats like a legendary ball.

Doing the right thing is giving it back I don't think it's right for him to keep it show some kind of guy he is

Michaels Gaming exactly! If giving back is " right thing" why MLB let people take any out-of-field ball.

Agweef

I dont get why people love them

Newsflash he returned it in exchange for them donating to a charity. He's a nice guy really.

It doesn’t matter if it’s signed or not there’s video evidence of it being the actual ball

Rex The pup you never know if he sold it or did something and just graved a random ball to say it was the actual one Ik the video proves he has it or had it but from beyond that point you don’t know what happened(Not tryna sounds rude)

Video evidence and picture proofs 😂

Rederino he could have gotten the exact same ball type and sold it as the “actual one”

They ball commission just checks the bin number inside and restitch with the same thread, is common practice

Gamer girl RBX give him a year or so. He wants OVER 9000

The baseballs stand as how much they cheated

Arod: The most hated player in history Altuve: “hold my trash can”

good one 👌👏

As an astros fan I can confirm that the ones on the team who cheated were Correa, Bregman, Reddick, and the 2 who got fired from mlb as a whole. Altuve never used it to his advantage. That is just what I have heard, it may be proven wrong but that is what my sources say.

Bottom line is Correa is now the most hated player in the mlb and I understand why, they did it to themselves.

Great analogy!

Yeee

Lol i, the baseball is the product and trophy of his career which is basically his life (as a baseballer). A car seller has no attachment to a car he sells, it isn’t his. He is only an agent but a baseball hit by the player which symbolizes an achievement in his part and will go down the history ? It means mich more to the baseballer than a fan who collects just any other baseballs of any other players. Anyways i dont really care but i dont like the car analogy. It’s shallowww

The baseball isn't "sold" like how the car was. It's caught, for free (unless you think of the ticket you bought to get there) Good idea but a really bad analogy there. Try again.

@@Blitzkit Lol, but that’s not it at all. He shouldn’t get to keep it because it is in no way his, he didn’t buy it, he didn’t stand there and catch it, he hit it, that’s his job, to hit the baseball and run as far as he can. It's not his place to say “I want that mat, because I have done a home run on it for my 50th time. Gimme gimme gimme” that might be something an entitled four year old would do, but certainly not a grown man. 🤣

you're crazy
