Give Josh Fields credit for hitting a grand slam Thursday to back Mark Buehrle's perfect game. He also didn't drop any throws at first base and secured the final putout of the afternoon.
However, he lost track of the game ball.
"I found out later I screwed up," Fields said Friday on AM-1000. "I held on to it as long as I possibly could during the celebration after the game, and I think one of the MLB authenticity guys came out and was mugging me down pretty hard and saying 'give me the ball.' And I didn't know that I could say 'no don't take it.'
"So I ended up giving it to him, thinking he was going to put his little authenticity sticker on it and give it back to Buehrle. So as of right now, I guess the MLB has it."
Whoops!
