Ball in Hand Question

I was hooked good and scratched shooting at the OB. I grabbed the cue ball out of the pocket and it slipped out of my hand, bounced on the table and fell right into a 5 lb jar of vaseline I carry to all my matches. I pick up the ball and place it in my opponents hand. Wasn't it good sportsmanship to not make him retrieve the cue ball from the pocket?
 
I'll bite......

What's the vaseline for? And why do you carry it to all your matches?:poke:
 
Did you clean the ball off?

Some times i feel like i am getting in the opponents way when i go for the ball for them and sometimes i feel like they expect me to get it for them. I usually just get it and hand it over.
 
I think rolling the ball back to your opponent allowing it to pickup the table lint along the way is considered proper etiquette in that circumstance.

I'm just like you. When on the road I always carry my tip shaper and a jar of vaseline for emergencies. :cool:

Vaseline is so.....Old School....try the newer lubricants by trojan. Carry the His/Her pack and be prepared to offer assistance to one and all.

You are to be commended for your sportsmanlike conduct but I think that you will find K-Y Jelly to be a vast improvement over vaseline.
