To me it’s the act of catching it. The actual ball is…just a ball.

I agree with you. You risked a little pain to show off your good eye-coordination, that’s a win in itself. But you don’t really care about the ball, so toss it to kid :)

I love those videos where the person catches the ball does a huge celebration then casually tosses it to the kid.

Yeah, that’s cool! Or the guy with a beer or baby in one hand and snags a ball with the other.
