Will the Tax Man cometh?

Wonder what's the value of a Justin Upton autographed bat.  We all know the tickets are worthless--it's not like anyone actually goes to D'Backs games anyway.

The Man is also going to want a piece of the kid in the Brewers' shirt who ended up with the ball. I wonder what tax bracket he's in?

And after the game, Ian's dad caught up to Nicholas's mom in the parking lot and beat her within an inch of her life.

Seriously, it was a nice thing to do and should be happening at parks all around the country.  Again, it would be nice to see MLB step in and be proactive about developing a culture of friendly competition.  "Give a ball away Day" at Chase Field.

Unfortunately, no matter how that sentence ends up, the answer is always "Bud Selig, the commissioner whose legacy will be letting home field advantage in the World Series be decided by the outcome of an exhibition game."

That's the plan. I'll wager it doesn't take much to convince him to stay a little longer, though. Best interests of baseball and everything ...
