Actually each home team provides 6 dozen balls for each game.

Yes but he caught the ball during the game on the field of play. It's not like the ball left the premises during the game like a home run. If it was still in play it belongs to the team that provided it, until they do not want it. What if someone took one of the bases, it was on the field and the Red Sox provided it, so it is theirs. Besides what about all of the balls that were used during the game that got thrown out after being fouled off? The only thing special about this one is that it was the last ball used. Big Deal!
