The saga is finally over.

After infamously refusing to negotiate with the New York Yankees on Alex Rodriguez's 3,000th hit ball, notorious ballhawk Zack Hample has finally budged.

A couple weeks ago, Hample said that he would be willing to part with the ball if the team made a "sizable donation" to a charity; it seems like $150,000 was sizable enough.

Hample also said that he was creating a list of demands for himself, but it is unclear if those were met along with the donation.

The #Yankees are donating $150,000 to Zack Hample's Pitch in for Baseball charity in exchange for A-Rod 3,000 ball. #wow
