PrawfsBlawg: A law professor discusses the legal fight between Patrick Hayashi and Alex Popov for ownership of Barry Bonds’ 73rd home run ball. Havashi got the ball, but Popov claimed that Havashi took it from him. The professor also discusses a movie about the lawsuit called “Up for Grabs.” The professor says this about the film:
“I discovered that the film is available on Netflix, and found it both amusing and riveting. The film has many themes (notably greed and the thoroughgoing American obsession with fame) but it’s a great law film as well (the courtroom testimony of the various witnesses to the Popov/Hayashi scuffle seem like they could have been lifted from a Christopher Guest parody).”
