MLB doesn't have people @ the games to get the ball back. It's the players that do that. A friend of mine caught Podsednik's home run ball from Game 1 of the ALDS and an offical from the Sox came out and asked him if he would like to exchange the ball for some swag. He ended up meeting Pods and getting another ball autographed, a bat, and a picture with him after the game.
It's not a MLB thing, it's just up to the player if he wants it for himself or not.
