June 14, 200818 yr Before you go to your next baseball game, check this out! (personally I think he is full of crap)
June 14, 200818 yr Author He's not: http://snaggingbaseballs.mlblogs.com/ Damn that is not fair I have only gotten 1 ball in my life and it was about 20 years ago
June 14, 200818 yr He's not: http://snaggingbaseballs.mlblogs.com/ Damn that is noy fair I have only gotten 1 ball in my life and it was about 20 years ago its not like he's only catching foul balls, just about anyone can get a ball during batting pratice by just asking for one.
June 14, 200818 yr What bugs me about him is how he acts like such a little kid when he doesn't get his way. I think he had a cool hobby. I would love to visit different parks like that. But, I wonder if he really is into the game or just catching baseballs. :confused
June 14, 200818 yr Prime example of why I hate Phillies fans. don't even know if the guy is a philly fan he's got hats for every team and he lives in NY

Real brave guy.
June 14, 200818 yr Its strange cause...he has a cool hobby and an interesting premise for us "real fans"...but he comes off like a whiney baby and quite frankly...a loser... When he explains his reasons and strategies, things DO make sense... I especially love the line about being the 10th fielder...Not withstanding balls that where thrown by the bullpen or the ballboy, I did catch a direct foul ball one afternoon...and I did feel like that 10th fielder... that ball was tossed by Mike Piazza to his pitcher Scott Linebrink, who pitched it and Amezaga took a swing and I was THE person who caught that very baseball... THAT is a great feeling and he describes it very well... BUT if I were to show that to a non-fan to explain what I felt when I caught that ball, they'd think me and especially this guy were disgustingly obsessed baseball nerds... For some reason this reminds me of the 40-year old virgin in that most men love comic books and video games in some way, but that guy shows that it CAN be overboard... I got mixed feelings on this guy...
June 14, 200818 yr BUT if I were to show that to a non-fan to explain what I felt when I caught that ball, they'd think me and especially this guy were disgustingly obsessed baseball nerds... So true. I remember reading about this guy some time ago and running into the picture of him in the baseball filled bathtub. I showed it to my best friend, who does not like baseball very much at all. She just looked at the picture and was like, "What the hell?"
