Bonds’ record
ball goes to trial
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -
The baseball Barry Bonds swat
ted for his record 73rd home run
is headed to trial.
A judge ruled Tuesday it is
unclear who should keep the
million-dollar memento — the
man who first gloved it, or the
man who took it home after a
tussle among fans.
Superior Court Judge David
Garcia ruled the ball should
remain locked up until a trial
answers whether it belongs to
Alex Popov, who snatched it and
says he was robbed in the ensu
ing struggle, or Patrick Hayashi,
who says he found it loose amid
the skirmish.
The custody dispute is
believed to be the nation’s first
trial over fan ownership of a ball
hit into the stands at a major
league stadium.
Popov sued Hayashi days
after the San Francisco Giants
slugger hit the home run Oct. 7
at Pacific Bell Park. The ball
could be worth more than $1
million, according to the man
who brokered the $3 million sale
of Mark McGwire’s then-record
70th home run ball in 1998.
But that value will dip if, next
spring, someone begins to
launch home runs at a pace pro
jected to surpass Bonds’ single
season record.
To protect against potential
loss of value, the judge ordered
Popov to post a $100,000 bond
within three days. Garcia also
agreed to Popov’s request that
lawyers from both sides go to
verify that the ball sitting in a
safe deposit box is indeed No.
73 and not a fake.
Outside court, Popov called
the results “a victory for the
fans.”
He said he’d prefer to settle
the issue over a beer, but failing
that, must press forward.
"The mob mugged me,”
Popov said. “I want my ball
back.”
Hayashi shied away from
court, but in a written statement
said he was compelled to defend
his reputation.
Hayashi suggested the ball be
put on public display during the
legal fight, “so that other fans
can appreciate such a historic
piece of baseball memorabilia.”
Though the facts of the
case were not discussed in
court Tuesday, both s
made their case outside
scrum of reporters.
Popov never closed
glove around the ball.

since he’s from Puerto Rico, but
he’s a very skilled forward,”
Watkins said. “His coach at
Maine Central says he’s improv
ing every day in practice. We
were very excited to get his
papier work back.”
Clemente joins Antione
Wright of Lawrence Academy in
Groton, Mass., who signed last
week in the Aggies’ recruiting
class. Wright is ranked as the
fourth-best high school player
overall, and the No. 1 shooting
guard, in the class of 2002 by
ESPN.com and is a consensus top
30-rated prospect. The Sporting
News ranks Wright as the No. 6
small forward in the country.
“We feel very good about our
recruiting class,” Watkins said.
“We’ve met our needs and are
excited about having both of
these young men for four years.”
