Ever Wanna Pummel a Fellow Poster? Ever Want a Good Reason?

MUHAHAHA, i cant, he promised to bring me a game in July

 

That was him? The crowd looked pissed at him.

 

Man, I wish that stupid "tradition" hadn't made it's way around the league.

 

It is a ball, he caught it, no tradition....it is his choice.

Good for him.......to not cave in to peer pressure, that is for the weak.

DD

 

man i would have kept it. ive never caught any kind of ball at a game and sure as hell wouldn't give my first one back!

 

I don't mind it so much when they don't throw it back.

I mind it very much when you see some jackass in an Astros hat get all excited and celebrating after catching a homer by the other team. Shouldn't be more excited about getting a freakin' baseball than glum about the team losing a run.

 

I wouldn't throw it back. How many chances does a person get to catch a homerun ball, by any team? Besides, that's a Chicago tradition, and look where it's got them.

 

agreed. plus, the bleacher bums in Chicago have been known to bring their own balls to the game to throw on to the field, so that they don't have to throw the real one back.

 

throw it freaking back!!!

who freaking cares about a homerun ball?? seriously...what are you gonna do..put it in a display case?? it's just a freaking ball with a scuff mark on it!!!

much better to throw it back!!!! throw that freaking thing back!!! i don't want a freaking mike lowell hit ball...

in best cartman voice: "hey guys...look at me...i got a mike lowell ball..eeeehhhh!!!"

throw that mother falcon ball back!!!!

 

I caught an Enos Cabell foul ball when I was like 7.....still have it to this day.

 

if an astro catches a ball...absolutely...keep it. that's your team.

if freaking barry bonds knocks #74 this year...and you catch it...by all means...keep it.

but when the montreal expos come to town...and their backup catcher knocks one into the crawford boxes...by all means...throw that bad boy back!!!

 

Anyone see when that guy at Wrigley was walking down the street, picked up the ball, and threw it all the way back into the stadium. That is the funniest thing I ever saw. He had a good arm too.


By the way, Anyone see what the Detroit catcher did a few nightss back on the pop up. I missed it, but John Kruk and Harold Reynold were laughing so hard they couldn't control themselves.What did he do?

 

That tradition is lame, and it's a knock off of the cubs one too....I say keep the ball

 

every baseball tradition is a knock off of one team or another.

 

It's only wrong if it's not worth millions of dollars.

 

You catch it on the fly, JB, or just pick it up after someone else dropped it?

Personally I would've thrown it back. I think I can get 2B on the fly. A buddy of mine says he could hit the mound. Someday I hope to find out.

 

I believe it landed behind him and picked it up if I'm thinking the right ball.

 

This aint chicago!!!!!! Stop trying to rip off their traditions...we are better than that.

KEEP THE BALL AND SHOW THE FINGER TO ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE!!!

 

Somebody post the video or a pic from their video tape. We need to see this for entertainment value.
