If I caught the ball I would give it back to Mr Bonds for no charge. Of course I would unstitch the seems and unwind all inards, and run it through a shredder first. Unless I could get $100k, then I'd sell it. :)

If the ball lands in McCovey's Cove beyond the right field wall, what someone with a peverse sense of humor may do is throw a bunch of cheap baseballs into the water in the general vicinity of where the ball landeed and watch the madness begin. Of course I think the real ball had a MLB authentication mark, but how would the kayakers know which ball to go after? :)
As tempted as I would be sell the baseball for the money, in the end I would probably give it back to the player. In Bonds' case, though, I would be tempted to give it the Giants with the strict provision that Bonds couldn't have it and it would be displayed for the fans's enjoyment; or give it to the Hall.
