    Pretty cool, cept being old and decrepit from a previous generation, I don't feel the need to gas on a cell phone when watching a live ball game.

    I keep expecting to see an inside-the-park homerun because the right fielder is texting somebody.

    There was also a nice snag by a kid in the 8th inning of that game. During the home run in the 8th by the Mets a kid of about 9-10 years of age caught it against the back wall of the Crawford boxes. He had a glove on, but it was still a hard hit major league ball so I was impressed by the little guy.

    Didn't think it was that impressive. It's not like he still had the phone to his ear and it was a slow grounder.

    I'm more impressed that people are still going to Astros games this season... ;)

    Seriously, I like that the guy snagged it from a Mets fan. Payback for 1986.

    He did still have the phone to his ear. It came off just a little bit as he did the flick wrist snatch. But you're right I was expecting it to be a fast foul ball. The guy behind him thought he had it all the way.
