Detroit Tigers: Should Tigers fan keep historic ball?

In the third inning of Thursday’s contest in the Motor City, Angels first baseman Albert Pujols launched a solo HR to left field off Detroit Tigers pitcher Ryan Carpenter. The home run marked the 2,000th RBI of Pujols career, making him the third (or fifth depending on who you ask) player in the history of the major leagues to ever reach that mark.

The biggest story now emerging from the historic event, however, is the fact that the Detroit Tigers fan who was lucky enough to catch the home run ball has decided to keep it.
