Alrighty...This is nothing about baseball...well...I guess it's a little about baseball. Well....anywho, there was a foul ball (one of many) that was hit in yesterdays giants game, it went right to me!!! But the dude in front of me tipped it with his glove and totally missed my glove! I WAS SO CLOSE TO GET A BASEBALL! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED ONE. Well...anyways...thats the cloest I've ever been to a pro baseball ball. I wanted to share that tidbit with you guys!

mickey tettleton threw me one when he was catching for the tigers. I tried to get him to sign it, but he said after the game and never came back. I wish i did get his signature, but i settled for a game used ball. I kept it nice for a while but eventually it found its way to being used once again.

I also have a ball signed by Dave Rozema. He was a pitcher for the 84 tigers (last time we won the penant). That ball is kept in a nice case, but the ink is fading.

back in 99, I was at a pirates/mets game in 3rivers. I was sitting by the 3rd base line right next to the mets bullpen. foul ball came over to the left field side....benny agbayani fielded it...and threw it over to the bullpen. me and my buddies asked Pat Mahomes for the ball and he gave it to us :)

yay
:D

i've been to dozens of Giants games, never caught a ball. Where were you sitting Cheesypuff? I've only had a few players of the Giants autograph a ball, but still have it to this day.. got that from throwing out the first pitch :D last year (i think) i got to throw it out again, and wanted to get autographs, especially Bonds, but no luck :angry:

I was sitting in the ground floor, 1st base line 20 rows back! It was so fun! And there was this foul ball that pegged a dude right by the brick wall! It sucks hard to get pegged. But yeah...this was the cloest I've ever sat. It was soooo cool

thats pretty sweet.. the seats i always sit at is on the 3rd base/left field side.. left side of the stadium, AAA club level.. we stare straight at Bonds from where we sit. almost no foul balls.. of all the times i've went, it goes to the section below, or the next section over closer to home plate. :angry:
