With Barry Bonds possibly hitting a historic home run in Philly this weekend, I wonder how tight security will be on Ashburn Alley, after what happened in San Francisco in 2001 after Bonds' 73rd home run that season.
To make a long story short, one guy caught it and one guy ended up with it. The first guy sued and a judge ruled . . . Well, I won't spoil the wild story, because Spike TV has been airing "Up For Grabs," a well-made documentary about all the aftermath.
As far as I can tell, its next airing is late Saturday night at 2 a.m. (in what amounts to early Sunday morning). It's 90 minutes long, so set your VCR or your TiVo, and check it out. Anyone who has ever brought a glove to a baseball game (and if you are reading this blog, that's all of you) will really enjoy it, and so will lawyers. When does a catch become legal possession?
Minor spoiler: Bonds himself has the best solution, and they don't listen to him. Also, stay tuned during the ending credits for a funny cameo by Robin Williams.
