The average lifespan of a Major League Baseball is 7 pitches. In the big scheme of things, sending someone out to find the ball is not worth the resources. They would spend more trying to get the home-run ball back, than they would if they just bought a new ball. Plus it adds appeal to the games, making fans want to come just a little bit more.
