When baseball's most controversial star sent #73 screaming into the right field bleachers at Pac Bell Park, it set off a wild scramble for the coveted million-dollar souvenir. Patrick Hayashi emerged from the pile of fans, held up the ball, and was whisked away by ballpark security to a secure room where the ball was authenticated. Moments later, Alex Popov declared that HE had caught the ball on the fly and that it had been stolen from him in the pile. Bring on the lawyers, the media circus, and the tension-filled auction that would change their lives forever - and leave us laughing in the aisles.
PLEASE NOTE: This award-winning documentary was created using a wide variety of media to capture the story as it happened, including off-air and amateur recordings. We feel that capturing the immediate experience of the story more than makes up for the occasional lapse of image quality.
