Trenton, N.J. ? Walter Kowalczyk’s brother wasn’t surprised that he caught the ball from Alex Rodriguez’s 500th career home run. He has seen his little brother make tougher catches.

“He’s got great hands. I’ve been throwing the football to him since we were really young,” Brian Kowalczyk said. “He would catch the ball any which way possible,”

Brian Kowalczyk said his brother, who has been staying in New York with his fiancee as his family has been swarmed with interview requests, hasn’t decided what to do with the baseball.
