Red Sox end fight with Doug Mientkiewicz over game ball

According to an AP report, Doug Mientkiewicz and the Red Sox have ended their feud over who owns the ball from the final out of the 2004 World Series by agreeing to give it away.

The ball will be sent to its new owner(?), the Hall of Fame. The Red Sox hope to have the ball at Fenway occasionaly for public display.

The Red Sox sued over ownership in November, but dropped the suit in December sending it to arbitration.
