    Exactly. A huge moment for both teams, and only one ball. How do you decide who gets the ball? Very simple--who won the game?

    Screw 'em. Their owner would just end up selling it on ebay anyway so the price of Pujol's salary won't be quite so bad.

    We got the win and the last out. We keep the ball. It's much more important to our history than their history. So, it marks the end of the stadium. Who cares? That's nothing compared to our first World Series clinch. I say don't give it to them no matter what.

    I don't know, that place has a lot of history, but this is the Astros' first World Series.

    If it wasn't the first, I would say give it back to the birds.

    They should have told Pujols to not swing in game 5 if they wanted it!

    AWESOME. This is the best answer.

    I'll also go with the SOLOMONistic
    If they say: "yeah, cut it in half", then you know it is not theirs, so the Astros keep it.

    I like this idea, they can keep the ball, but they have to remember who won.

    I think is more important the ball of the game 1 of the WS, or the first game at MMP (game 3)
