World Series Historic Ball Returned

Dave Huyette has no regrets about giving back David Freese’s historic home run ball. The Illinois radiologist decided not to keep the ball that won Game 6 of the World Series for the St. Louis Cardinals in the 11th inning. The ball could have been worth thousands. But Huyette says he doesn’t need the money. He adds returning it was “the honorable thing to do.” But he didn’t go away empty handed. Huyette got an autographed bat, a baseball signed by the Cardinals and a picture with Freese. An auto-parts company also threw in tickets for Huyette to see the Cardinals beat the Texas Rangers in the decisive Game 7.
