One Move And the Ball Gets It!

If Doug Mientkiewicz had a sense of humor, he'd have brought the damn last ball of the 2004 World Series with him to Boston. Then he'd have put the sacred relic of the Red Sox' triumph inside a sack full of rocks, chartered a boat, and headed into the Atlantic.

Once outside the 12-mile limit, the Royals infielder could send the blasted souvenir to a watery grave. Oh, the humanity! Instead of merely sending the ball to the Hall of Fame, Mientkiewicz would earn at least one man's Hall of Fame vote in perpetuity.
