Foulke Wants Winning World Series Ball?

by Tyler Knott Gregson on April 28th, 2006

Apparently Red Sox closer Keith Foulke isn’t happy that the famous ball he tossed to first to win Boston’s first World Series in damn near a century, isn’t on his mantle.

He was quoted yesterday as saying,

“It’s not on my mantel where it should be…It’s one of those deals where I got the last out. I think that’s kind of the common practice in baseball [to give the ball to the pitcher on the mound].”

Maybe Foulke should rally up a posse of other memorabilia hunters and go for a clandestine midnight op into Cooperstown…hey, might make a good reality TV show.
