John/z28jdFirst of all Lee,i cant believe you gave your first foul ball away,sure its nice to give it to a kid but you wait till the 2nd ball to do that
I was at a game last year and sitting down the 1st base line when a line drive came and hit the row behind me about 10 seats closer to home plate,it then went into the row in front of me,with no one around i reached over picked up the ball then got run by some 12 year old kid who almost took my arm off and he knocked the ball out and then started to walk away.
He stopped and came back and gave me the ball and said im sorry,you had that ball already. So i got my first foul ball twice and i didnt have to wait for that little kid to be all alone and strongarm it back
In a family full of baseball fans who have been to over 500 games combined,i have the one and only foul ball.Of course my cousin had to ruin it by getting engaged to a former minor league baseball player so now his stories overshadow my foul ball story
