Joe Wright posted on Facebook that a ball boy gave it to him after a fan threw it back on the field.

Wright told CBS 2 he's keeping it for his sons.

"My grandpa was a die-hard, my dad was a die-hard, both have passed," he said. "This is for my two sons."

The Cubs went on to a 9-3 win against the Indians at Progressive Field, forcing a winner-take-all Game 7 on Wednesday night.
