Doug Mientkiewicz returned to Fenway Park on Monday wanting to get past the issue of the ball he caught for the final out of the 2004 World Series and instead was critical of Red Sox CEO Larry Lucchino.

Mientkiewicz kept the ball before lending it to the team for one year the following February. Boston sued him in November but the suit was dismissed in December and the sides worked out an agreement to give it to the Hall of Fame, which now has it.
