though i could be wrong. if you were to obtain a van gogh somehow do u have to pay like 300k on a 900k piece? seems pretty analgous.

I guess if the Van Gogh got knocked by a 1.016m wodden bat and somehow traveled about 106.68m or so and one person came out with the painting in a big mob with the painting unscathed...

sure, I can see that.

I really don't see how they can make him pay taxes on the ball if he derives no income from the ball. The IRS can't compute 35% of sentimental value.

I'm sure there's someone out there would pony up 1-2 million for this ball.....If i were that guy i put up a set prize of about 1 million, and if there was heavy demand for it at that prize i'd bump it to 1.5 and so on until only one person was willing to pay for it.

I agree, but that's not the law. If you receive a gift of land that produces no income you still have to pay tax on the value of the land. The painting example was also pretty good.
