Detroit — A lot of folks simply don't get it.
They just can't grasp how Ely Hydes could turn down a treasure trove of man-cave greatness — an autographed Albert Pujols baseball, a Pujols jersey, a Mike Trout jersey and a Miguel Cabrera jersey, everything but the Comerica Park ferris wheel, practically, not to mention a meet-and-greet with Pujols, the future Hall-of-Famer — in exchange for a historic baseball he never had any plans to sell, despite a first offer, on the spot, of $5,000, and another a day later for $25,000.
