Tom Brady gives the man who gave back the 600th TD ball back a signed jersey and more
Tom Brady threw his 600th touchdown ball this weekend against the Chicago Bears, and one lucky fan in the stands was handed the ball by Mike Evans who obviously did not realize that was Tom’s 600th touchdown.
Well according to Tracy Wolfson, Byron Kennedy a 29-year-old doctor was attending his second football game when Evans scored and gave him the ball. After a brief conversation with a Bucs staffer, Kennedy gave the ball back.
Many are dogging the doctor online because that ball is worth upwards to 500,000 dollars. Well, Brady is going to make it right.
Kennedy was wearing an Evans 13 Bucs jersey in front row in end zone, yelled “BIG MIKE” when he caught TD and got the ball from him. Just his second Bucs game in person.

Byron Kennedy — who gave back the Brady TD ball — said a Bucs official told him “Tom Brady really wants that 600 ball back. Could you please give it back?” Said he really wanted to keep it, but didn’t even negotiate — he got another game ball and has more goodies coming.

I doubt he will ever get 500,000 dollars back, but he has the memory of giving back the ball to Tom Brady. Maybe he will get to meet him. Pretty cool that Brady at least hooked him up.
