What would you want if you caught Albert's 500th?

[Splint7438]

I would want an autographed picture of me giving him the ball and anything else he wanted to donate to my angel bar at the house.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

With Albert having many more milestones ahead, not sure how valuable 500 is. He will no doubt hit 600 and likely 700. Those will bring a bit more coin. Pujols game used stuff is expensive. If Albert gave him a hat he whore during the game, then that will have value. Also, Victor and Gubi said they'll throw in some game tickets and an interview in the booth at the Big A. Victor hinted that Mead might make something happen for his generosity.

Likely 700?!

I mean its in the realm of possibility. But I don't know about likely. Lets just hope he keeps hitting like this.

[The Angels]

I'd ask for a signed photo of me with him an the HR ball.

 

I'd really hope the Angels organization isn't so cheap as to only give the fan who caught it a hat. I don't care how big a piece of baseball history a HR ball is, it still takes a lot of generosity and sacrifice from a fan to simply give away an item they rightfully own that is worth thousands of dollars.

[OregonLAA]

The Angels will 100% do something for this guy. He was really cool in that interview too, really genuine and nice about the guy who totally missed that ball.

I would do the same thing as him except maybe ask to meet a few of the players as well as Albert

[tomsred]

I would ask for 5 minutes to photograph Mike Butcher sleeping.  Then I would auction off the photograph on AngelsWin.com.

I would have asked if I could pack a bag, and finish the roadie with the team.

Next stop, The Big Apple!

i'd want a picture of me and him, a signed ball, and a bat.

One of his paychecks

[xboom28x]

I would have asked Soto for Albert's #498 HR ball in Detroit

[gurn67]

I'd want a new ball and any unbroken Pujols game used bat both signed by both Pujols & Trout with todays' date on it. From the Angels, I'd want a suite for a Yankees, Red Sox or Dodgers game this season and 4 good tickets to the next Angels' World Series game, if there's another one in my lifetime.

"They were pretty honest to give it back, and I appreciate that," Pujols said.

I'm dishonest or there is some sort of translation issue because, in all seriousness, I probably wouldn't just hand it over.  I'm not gonna hate on anyone for giving it to him (not giving it back... it isn't his)...  not gonna like them more either.  To each their own.  Whatever floats your boat.   At the end of the day, it is what it is.    

[Amazing Larry]

If it was Arod's 500th homerun ball I'd light it on fire in front of him.

[LBHalos17]

Reports on Twitter that the dude who caught the ball only got a hat. Gave up the ball without question and didn't ask for anything in return. Would you settle for that or would you hold that ball hostage and win a mini lottery? 

That's why we honor our troops; they're humble.

 

I would just hope for a signed ball (one of the special ones put into play), and a photo... The guy's already a rock-star!  He's been re-played on tv over and over, and had an interview with our boy Vic!  What else do you need?!

[seenoevil]

Nothing. I would take whatever they would offer.

[Skankhunt42]

I'd just want to personally give it to him and shake his hand and have that moment photographed and/or video taped. Other than that, no need for anything else really.  I'm not big on autographs or anything like that.

How about the ability to play catch with the person in your avatar?

Vic offered him 4 tickets to the next home game he can attend, along with a visit to the press box.  That's pretty cool.

....Or I could pitch and she could catch, if you smell what the rock is cookin'

[Stradling]

I don't know what I would ask for. I would want to be offered to have my season seats paid for, that would be cool. I guess I would want to go on the field and play catch with him before a game. Or maybe shag fly balls during batting practice.

[Amazing Larry]

I've always wondered who that girl is.

[Ochocinco!]

His Underwear from tonight's game

[Ohtaniland]

I would get it authenticated and then EBAY it all the way to the bank.

[ELEVEN]

A back rub, and maybe a tug.

[FabulousFabregas]

Signed ball from Albert and a photo opp.  Some free tickets wouldn't hurt.

[Lou Spirito]

Reports on Twitter  . . .

Well there's a trust worthy source. The Angels will take care of this guy for being a class act.
