Fan that caught A-Rod's 3,000th hit surrendering ball for $150K charitable donation

Alex Rodriguez is getting back his 3,000th hit ball.

Zack Hample, 37, is returning the historic ball to A-Rod in exchange for a $150,000 charitable donation by the New York Yankees to Pitch In For Baseball, which supplies baseball equipment to kids in need.

Hample, who is an avid ball-hawker, had initially decided to keep the piece of baseball history upon making the lucky catch on June 19, when Rodriguez blasted a homer into the right-field stands at Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees will be holding a press conference Friday afternoon to make the transaction official.
