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.

I don't even think my son remembers who was playing, but those two foul balls made a ten year olds dreams of catching a foul ball come true.

His name is John Witt and he has been collecting baseballs for over 30 years. He has caught over 4850 baseballs at professional games including 99 Major League Game Home Runs. The book not only tells you how to set up your day at the ballpark but it gives you pointers from how to get tickets to where to go in the ballpark to get a baseball or autographs. He also shares stories about some of the more memorable home runs he has caught such as Sammy Sosa's 61st HR in 1998, 2 home runs from Eddie Murray in the same game that Murray hit from each side of the plate and a few others. It is a pretty cool book for sure!

True you're not actually catching the ball, but it worked every single time. My kid brother used to always ask umpires for a ball after the game, as the umps are leaving the field.

I remember catching a foul ball that dribbled across the field, right into my glove. I had no hesitation at all: I took the ball out of my glove and gave it to the kid and wished him a happy birthday. The look on the kid's face is a look I'll remember for a long time! And it's a great feeling too!

Once at Veteran's Stadium and once at Yankee Stadium. Each time a grwon man next to our group snagged the foul ball away from our attempts to catch it. In neither case did the man have a child with him. Yes, I was denied twice as a boy. Once at Veteran’s Stadium and once at Yankee Stadium.

Two guys are sitting in the bleachers and there's a really old guy with a really old glove sitting in front of them. The old guy's pounding his glove and saying, "C'mon!" There's the crack of the bat and everyone jumps to their feet as the ball is coming toward them. One of the younger guys catches the ball (one-handed) and deftly slaps it into the old man's glove. The only other person who knows what happens is his friend, who looks at him and quietly says, "Give that man a Blue Ribbon." I think that commercial said a lot about being a man.
