of them changing the set of balls when arod gets up so it has the mark on it. what im trying to say is, arod hits couple of foul balls into the stands, people could just say, oh i caught the 500th HR... if you get what im saying, then what is the point of doing this

Each ball has a UNIQUE identification mark. Baseball does have enough smart people to figure out just which ball was involved in the big moment and which was sliced foul into the church group from Yonkers.

the point is - MLB marks "Record breaking" balls that only they can authenticate when the person either wants to sell it or milk money out of the player that broke whatever record it was for. The mark that is made has to be viewed under ultraviolet light and the "mark" changes from game to game and sometimes from at bat to at bat.

When A-Rod hits the homerun, everyone will know where it went and who caught it. For example, when Bonds hit his 700th i believe, there was an argument of who should have the ball since two people were there. Those people made it to television. Everyone will know who caught it.

They don't actually say 500th Arod homer on them.

That is a good point. I mean people will lie, but there is security and when someone catches it they take them away from the crowd i am assuming they have them right down their information.
