Me, never have. If I did, I'd probably give it to a kid sitting near me

Minors, yes, MLB no.
My wife got one the other night at a minor league game, gave it to the kid sitting next to us.

Yes, I had the good fortune of seeing many games at the old Muni stadium in Cleveland, on a good day 10K would be like U2 playing. Caught of Torey Luvollo of the Angels.

Looking back on it, people must of thought I was an idiot. I was acting like just won the PowerBall and give the numbers to the next 10 Powerballs after that.

I have caught a few the last one broke my cellphone and my thumb. Barry Bonds hit it to the club level and the 2 guys in front of me were standing up so I couldn't see the damn game and Bonds foul comes screaming right at them. Both have gloves and they split like the Red Sea and I put my hand up to save my face and crack. Yes when the two guys left that were in front of me they were holding hands. The best part was i told my wife i wasn't going to the game because I gave my tickets to a friend and she wanted me to take the kids. He had someone cancel and I just happen to be in the area so I went. Had to go home with my broken cellphone and finger with some lame excuse how both got broken.

My first foul ball that I caught came off the bat of Don Money, former infielder of the Phillies....my stupid brother used it for a pick up game the next day....could have killed him...

Caught one at Safeco field a couple years or so ago, off Ichiro too. Wakefield was the opposing pitcher for Boston so there were lots of foul balls that day. Gave it to a kid in front of me and his dad bought me and my friends a round of beers :toast:

Think I remember Fishhead telling me about a time he caught 2 foul balls at a Rays game. I had a Frank Thomas home run ball coming at me one time but was smart enough to get out of the way of that line drive. It was coming in hot.

Atleast 3 times. Sometimes the mid week games at the Oakland Colusium are so dead it's easy to pick up a stray foul ball. I did catch Tejada's homer vs the Yanks one year. I ended up giving it to a kid who wouldn't stop staring at me.

I've got a buddy that caught a foul ball on his birthday, Lance Briggs Pro-bowl linebacker of the Bears, was at the game. My buddy has an autographed foul ball from Lance Briggs. How lucky can you get?

Then again, ball not be worth much but he's never gonna forget that.

Never got one myself but when George Brett hit his 300 HR in Cleveland at old Municipal Stadium I was about 5 ft from the ball and honest story here some blind guy had hit right in front of him and landed in his lap.The Royals had somebody come in the stands for the ball and the guy got a autograph ball and game jersey.
