Barry Bonds Baseball Battle

You wouldn't believe what some people would do for a baseball.

Alex Popov: I reached up and I actually caught it like this above my head. Irwin Kramer: Alex Popov may have caught the ball, but after a scuffle, it ended up in the hands of Patrick Hayashi and two guys who once rooted for the same team wound up on opposite sides in court. Now the court had possession of the baseball. Just how would the judge feel the question of ownership? The judge himself had trouble making up his mind. Judge Kevin M. McCarthy: We will never know if Mr. Popov would have been able to retain control of the ball had the crowd not interfered with his efforts to do so. Speaker: Mr. Hayashi was not a wrongdoer. He was a victim of the same bandits that attacked Mr. Popov. Judge Kevin M. McCarthy: Their legals claims are of equal quality and they are equally entitled to the law. Irwin Kramer: The verdict even left Barry Bonds scratching his head. Barry Bonds: Giving to a lawyer, I think that's ridiculous. Those two guys could have just said here, take it to an auction and what we could have did was just split it. Irwin Kramer: For the Legal Television Network, I am Irwin Kramer.
