I like how you put it.
But at the same time, would you take the Dodgers' offer of meeting Ohtani, taking an autograph bat and a chance to be on the field for batting practice? I don't know if that was the exact offer, but it's something to that effect.
If you give it back, you're basically giving away a seven-figure baseball. Peer pressure is a bitch, too. Your friends are already in your ear, you can't give this back.
I don't blame the fan at all. This situation falls in their lap by merely chance and within minutes, a Dodgers rep is trying to get the ball back from them.
