Former World Series champion Eric Hosmer had quite the choice of words after LA Dodgers pitcher Emmet Sheehan seemingly kept hold of Cam Devanney's first hit ball instead of swapping it out with a new one thrown to him by the umpire.It's a tradition in baseball that a slugger keeps his first hit ball as a souvenir. However, it seems Sheehan may have robbed Devanney of the opportunity.The incident happened in the bottom of the second inning at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, when Devanney registered his first big-league hit with a single to left field.A slow-motion clip showed Sheehan receiving a fresh ball from the umpire. However, instead of tossing aside Devanney’s historic ball and accepting the new one, he appeared to swap the balls before delivering his next pitch.MLB analyst Ben Verlander shared the video on X/Twitter and wrote:"It appears Emmet Sheehan just intentionally kept the first MLB hit ball for Cam Devanney. The team asked for the ball. The umpire threw Sheehan a new ball and he clearly switched it in his glove."Hosmer took note of the incident and criticized Sheehan."Pending more information…. Another all-time scumbag move," he wrote.Eric Hosmer @TheRealHos305LINKPending more information…. Another all time scumbag move ⁉️Emmet Sheehan said it was "unintentional" to keep Cam Devanney's first hit ballCam Devanney might never recover his first hit ball due to Emmet Sheehan's actions, but the pitcher insisted after the game that there was no malice involved."I had no idea. I liked the ball I was throwing with, so I tried to keep it," Sheehan said via SI.com. "And I had no idea that was his first hit. So I'm going to try and find Cam tomorrow and apologize and figure out a way to make it up to him. But yeah, it was completely unintentional."Devanney, however, felt he got the correct ball:"I’m not entirely sure what happened. … but I think I did get the right one."The Pirates shut down the Dodgers to win 3-0 in the end. After winning the series 2-0, the Pirates will look to clean-sweep LA in Game 3 on Thursday.
