When a ball is in the air its kind of like when a fire truck or police car is running code. People lose all thier common sense.

no one goes to the ballgame sayin 'I will get a ball or die tryin'....

it is like all of us when we were young...."Oh I could do that" was what we thought about EVERYTHING...even jumpin wide creeks on a motorcycle....or building Evil Knievel ramps for jumpin bikes....or driving fast in HS and thinkin we were made of steel....

it just happens....



and they are not $2 balls....been to Walmart lately to find the cheapest of the good balls? they ain't 2 bucks...a game played ball while at a game with your son is a lifetime memory for you and the kid....if you measure those as 2 buck memories you are missing out...




but I don't wanna die tryin, I admit....

I kind of agree, but the home run derby incident was foolish long before the ball was hit. :dispntd:

And of course we all know the memories won't be there without that game ball??????? So of course let's risk our lives to get those "Memories"!

There are way too many what I like to call " I was there guys" in America. You know the friend we all have who can't wait to tell you "I was there" when any sports story gets brought up that he or she was there for. I guess adding a caught ball (and alcoholism plays a role too) adds to their story telling down the road. For example "Remember Hamiltons walkoff versus the Tigers" friend responds "YEA I WAS THERE" in a voice tone that doesn't match the conversation. There are so many people out there looking for the slightest thing to brag about and I think they feel like catching a ball adds to that.

The stadium faculty is clamping down at the Ballpark. I was sitting on the front row, second deck (section 232) Sunday, and there was a little boy about 6 or 7-years-old that was constantly being told by a staff member "do not lean against the rail", or "get away from the rail", and "I don't want to have to tell you again." It's the first time I've seen that happen there, and it's about time, in my opinion.
