Ive probably been to 50 or so MLB games in my life and never once caught a foul ball. This glove-toting chump of a fan shows up to an Os-Mariners game and somehow manages to pull down three all in the same darn game. Three. Were talking about three balls. Not one. Not two. But three. THREE!!!
I know the guy loses style points for bringing his glove to the game and its probably easier because there are less fans in Baltimore compared to an Angels or Dodgers game for me, but still, thats impressive no matter how you look at it.
Think about it, foul balls are probably the best souvenir possible; you earn them without purchasing them, it gives you a great story, and you never forget how you got it. Its probably like a battle wound or scar for folks lucky enough to pull down one of those treasured pearls. Or at least thats how Ive always imagined it would be. Catching a foul ball is something Ive always wanted to do, but like a pitcher during a no-hitter, you dont want to think about it when youre at the actual game so you dont jinx it. Seriously, its almost as important as my team actually winning the game.
Sadly Ive never had the chance to feel the joy of having those 216 game-used stitches in my hand, yet this dude gets three in the same game. Jimmy Traina at SI Hot Clicks had the story, and if you you can see the video.
