If some horse's derriere yells at me to "give it to a kid", my response is usally "You want the kid to have one? YOU catch one and give it to him!" Another thing I won't do is sell a ball I caught on eBay. One of the guys who hangs out on Waveland Avenue outside Wrigley Field tries to sell his home runs on that site. I say "tries to sell" because his prices are so inflated that the stuff never moves". I’m certainly not gonna shove or knock over a kid for a ball…BUT…if I catch it fair and square, I keep it…PERIOD!

I had saved up all summer to get a team autgraphed ball. I got one at the game, it was awesome, that was back when Paul Molitor, Robin Yount, ect. played. I had it in my coat pocket when some of my friends and I snuck up to the press box to see Bob Uecker. We went in and were quickly escorted out by a guard! Anyway when I got back to my seat the ball was gone. I almost cried. Major disappointment! I remember when I was about 11, our school went to a Brewer’s game.

I'm a big fan of AAA ball, and have gotten a few balls from it. Love the post.

He has a ball in his glove that he will flip into the seats. Todd Helton tossed a ball to my son a few years ago. I say "good" because you don't want to get a foul ball rocketing towards your kid that skips off the top of the dugout enough to pick up some more wicked spin & change directions quickly. Never had that happen to me but I've seen it happen. Always make sure to watch every pitch!! @Gary-When I read this article I was thinking about that commercial. Funny how a commercial can make such an impact. Another “good” idea is seats above the home team dugout where the first baseman will be entering his dugout after catching the third out.
