Dominican Lou: Hey Colin, I got de ball. I sell it to you. One meellion dollars. Colin: You caught Sammy Sosa's home run ball. Dominican Lou: No. But in the third inning, when Gary Gaetti hit de foul ball. I got de ball, Colin. I sell it to you. One meellion dollars.
Very cool gesture by Reggie Sanders. This guy wouldn't have been able to walk out of Yankee stadium if he did that to a little kid. What an ass.
It was near the end of a day game with the Pirates last month. There weren't any kids around and I guess he was amused by us loudmouthed drunken fans!
i guess...but it's just a ball. to me, that ball has zipo value. i could absolutely care less if i catch an adam everett foul ball. does nothing for me. maybe a neat little story...but certainly not one worth running people over for. if he autographed the ball, i'd understand a bit more...but not for a foul ball.
He got his 5 seconds of shame on Sportscenter last night. The kid's mom was beating him with what appeared to be a scorecard. Funny stuff.
Exactly he was being an ass the whole time. Now if he would've done something similar to what drapg stated then it maybe would have softened the ordeal but the guy was still an ass. Too bad he didn't get the t-shirts.
That guy will get his. And better yet, everytime he's telling the story about the ball, he'll remember the truth. And he'll wonder if the person he's telling it to knows the real story. He'll be haunted by it. That's why you give up the ball. He gets no value from the experience.
They sent a guy to interview him over the PA? WTF. That was unnecessary. Hearing the broadcasters berate him was funny
I guess you answered my question with your post. Me no reed gud. I was sitting very close to you then. Mondesi took heckling fans worse than any baseball player I've ever seen. He turned around and glared at the guys yelling at him. I also heard some better than usual smack being yelled at Craig Wilson when he went to RF. He was intermittently being referred to as Fabio and Joe Dirt.
Survival of the fittest I say! Actually, as long as someone doesn't hurt a kid, I don't mind him keeping the ball. I would've raised the kid up in the air and jumped around, then posed for photo-ops and hopefully get some from his mom.
