How does it feel to catch a World Series home run?

Meet the teens who took home Freddie Freeman's Game 6 home run ball.

HOUSTON — Unless Freddie Freeman re-signs with Atlanta, his final hit in a Braves uniform would be a the World Series Home Run that clinched Game 6. It's a valuable and poetic baseball that a pair of cousins, 14-year-old Hudson Pace and 17-year-old Steven Edwards, now possess.

So, what were they thinking when they saw the ball?

"So, I see it coming towards me and I'm like, oh man this is really close to us," said Pace.

"Just seeing the hit come at us, it was Freddie Freeman's hit too...just amazing seeing it come at us, too," said Edwards.

"And then it bounced down on the field and we were yelling at Jose Siri to throw it up. And he threw it up right to us and we both caught it," explained Pace.

And it made a mark when it hit the railing. If you watch his home run video, you can see it hit the railing and that's the mark.

FOX54's Jonah Karp asked them, "Do you realize the weight of what you have in that baseball. I mean, Freddie Freeman...one of the greatest players to ever put on a Braves uniform, hits a home run in a World Series and you have that baseball. Out of all the people in the world, you have that baseball. Isn't that nuts?"

The cousins agree. 

"Yeah, I think about it all the time," said Edwards. "So many people want this baseball and the value of this baseball is insane and in my hand. Sometimes, I just doze off and stare at it. I can't believe I have this."

Next up? Compensation. Jonah Karp asked, "Have you thought about a package you might want to put together. A signed jersey? A meet-and-greet with Freddie? Have you thought about it?"

The cousins replied, "Freddie could give us cool stuff or whatever," said Pace. "There might be a Braves fan out there like a rich collector or something who might be willing to pay a lot of money. And there's like, what do we do with it."

"It's definitely been on our mind all of the crazy outcomes we could get for the ball because it's such a valuable ball," said Edwards. "But, we've just been enjoying having the ball right now. We're going to remember this for the rest of our lives. In the future, however many years, we're going to be talking about how we went to the world series and got a home run ball."
