The tax rules for caught balls are as confusing as the infield fly rule. The IRS, which declined comment, has never stated its position on whether a ball becomes taxable when it leaves the stadium or when it's sold by the fan who caught it. The service has only said that balls returned to the team are not taxable to the fan. The following slides present simple rules of etiquette for fans enjoying great seats at a baseball game. You'd be amazed at how often the rules come into play.
Bartman has become a cautionary tale, which fans repeatedly ignore when heading out to their front-row seats in ballparks around the country. Your favorite teams, topics, and players all on your favorite mobile devices. The lucky fan who snagged Aaron Judge’s record-setting 62nd home run was escorted out of his seat in style — for good reason.

Do you know why they ask if you are willing to sit in an exit row of a plane? Because some people panic in certain situations. The same rules should apply for the first row in a baseball game. If you cannot keep your composure when a ball is coming right at you, go sit in the back next to the toilet.

"If the fair market value is unknown or debatable, an appraisal might be a great idea, to determine the donative value for the ball," she said, adding that an appraisal could be helpful in setting a sales price. Media reports Tuesday night said the Dallas man has not made up his mind. Youmans is married to sports reporter and former "The Bachelor" contestant Bri Amaranthus. Market data provided byFactset.
So if there are less than two outs and a baseball player leaves the field to make a catch, the play is first ruled a catch if the player keeps at least one foot on or over the playing area. Then the play is ruled a dead ball and the base runners are awarded the next base. There are two rules to consider when reviewing the scenario of a baseball player leaving the field to make a catch, and these rules apply for both home runs and foul balls. Steve Bartman may have also changed baseball history. Bartman was one of a host of fans down the left field line at Wrigley Field who tried to catch a foul ball in the eighth inning of the 2003 NLCS. Moises Alou thought he had a play on the ball and threw a tantrum when Bartman interfered.
Base Runners Advance If Player Falls Into the Out-Of-Play Area
For crying out loud, it's a kid. Let the kid have the ball. "Look! I got a ball doing virtually nothing! I'm the luckiest guy here!" Good, now sit the hell down. Anyone who boos you should be focused on the game. This is a pretty obvious rule that gets violated every night in every park in America.
There is no way a child can be expected to catch a batted ball with their tiny child hands. The necessity for a glove in foul-ball or home-run areas is paramount for a kid who hopes to grab a ball while at the game. Now, let's say you catch a player's 500th or 600th home run. That ball is probably worth some decent money, but that doesn't mean you should hold the ball hostage.
Catching a record-breaking home run ball can be life changing, as NYC family found out 61 years ago
"The only reason he got the money was because Maris told him, 'Hold on to the ball. Somebody is going to offer you some kind of money for that ball,' and that's exactly what happened," Tom Durante said. Sal Durante went to that game with his girlfriend, who would later become his wife. Tom Durante said he and his brothers never really knew how big of a moment it was until they got older. Sal Durante, center, was 19 years old when he caught Roger Maris' record-breaking 61st home run ball in 1961.
The ball is worth $2 million — at a minimum — as Memory Lane President JP Cohen has previously put that number out as an offer for Judge’s 62nd home run ball. Aaron Judge hit his 62nd home run in Game 2 of the Yankees’ doubleheader against the Rangers at Choctaw Stadium, and a lucky fan named Cory Youmans came away from the ball. A person receiving a baseball or any other gift owes no taxes as long as he or she keeps it.
And it's safe to say that his owners were probably so happy they brought him. When asking the question “is it a home run if you catch the ball and fall over the fence? ” the answer is that it depends on where the player’s foot was when that player caught the ball. When catching the ball results in the glove falling off and the glove goes over the fence, the ruling is that the player did not make the catch and the play is live. But a gift tax applies to any property given away that is worth $10,000 or more, and a person must pay tax on any profit made on property that is sold. It makes no difference to the IRS whether the item is cash, a piece of jewelry or a record-setting baseball shagged by a bleacher fan.
Bringing a glove gave me something to play with and a build in place to hold my snacks. If you happen to catch an errant toss from a player or coach, give it to the nearest kid. You didn't catch the ball off the bat.
None of you have any business being that close to the field. The auction ends on December 17 and the Judge ball will have to rack up some significant offers in the remaining time if it has any hope of breaking the record for the most expensive baseball ever sold. The slugger is chasing fellow Yankee legend Roger Maris’s American League record 61 homers and fans are prepared to battle it out for what could be a multi-million dollar souvenir. That is, if and when he hits another homer. Currently, Judge is stuck at 60, which ties him with Babe Ruth, and leaves him shy of matching Maris. Estimates have already started to come in regarding the 61st ball, which memorabilia companies have valued at $250,000 to over $2 million.

The Cubs blew a 3-0 lead and Bartman became the convenient excusefor the team's failure to reach the World Series. Sitting in the outfield for a Major League Baseball game is pretty amazing. Not only are the seats cheaper than the infield seats but they give fans the best chance at catching home run balls hit by their favorite players.
