The Detroit Tigers fan who corralled the home run baseball that cemented Albert Pujols' 2,000th career RBI on Thursday made headlines when he refused to hand the historic ball over to Major League Baseball, and on Friday he took to Facebook to detail his experiences with media, Comerica Park and Tigers staff.
Ely Hydes made national headlines on Thursday when he chose to keep the ball despite generous efforts from both the Tigers and Angels, even though MLB would not authenticate the ball once he left the park.
"The ball is right here on my coffee table," Hydes wrote in a Facebook post on Friday.
