When I was a kid, I got a dime for returning a foul ball at local semi-pro games.
I played High School ball in Fresno. One of our team mates went on to play for the Royals farm team and while playing as a pro at John Euless Field in Fresno he hit a home run in left center that rolled to a stop in the front yard of the house he was raised in.
He was later given the ball
