World Series Ball Kerfuffle
The Red Sox are demanding that first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz turn over the ball that was used for the last out of the World Series. Hmmm ... it seems to me that if a team has a legit claim on the ball it is the St. Louis Cardinals not the Red Sox since Game 4 was played in St. Louis rather than Boston. I presume--perhaps incorrectly--that the home team provides the balls. It might also be the case the MLB provides special World Series balls, in which case MLB would own the ball rather than either the Cardinals or Red Sox.
