Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

baseball goes over to neighbors yard

The backyards in our neighborhood are on the smaller side and close together. One of my neighbors told my children if a ball goes over the fence onto his property, he could keep it, it was his now, they can not have is back. Is this true?
