There are no fines for Baseball players throwing a ball into the stands.

Baseball teams don't like to accept players with too many fines on their record. Baseball is still a professional organization and those kinds of players reflect on the ball club they play for.

Yes, they are. The NFL sees that as lost revenue, as after the game they try to get the balls signed by key players or sell the ball as an "official game used" ball. Its unknown how much they actually fine them, as it may be in tow with an excessive celebration fine. Its total BS, MLB gives balls away, why not the NFL?
