I don't even do that. If I'm still somewhere in the vicinity of home plate, I'll either drop the extra game balls at the plate or roll them back to the backstop. If I am somewhere else, such as having trailed the BR to first or taking a call at third, I'll roll the balls to the circle. I'm not going around looking to hand the balls over to someone, especially if the home team isn't very happy with me.

Not butting into the handshake crowd for a personal handoff, but rolling the balls to the home dugout is practical and easy.
