Alex Rodriguez will finally be reunited with the ball he hit last month to join baseball's exclusive 3,000 hit club.
The Yankees announced they will hold a press conference before Friday night's game vs. the Rays at the Stadium where ballhawk Zack Hample will hand over the ball to A-Rod. The Bombers will make a $150,000 donation to Hample's favorite charity, Pitch In For Baseball, in exchange for the ball's return.
Hample caught A-Rod's solo home run in the first inning of the Yankees' June 19 against the Tigers at the Stadium. He initially slammed A-Rod and said he had no interest in giving the ball back to the steroid-tainted Yankee slugger.
