More About the Author
In 1977 at Old Comiskey Park in Chicago is where this all started! I went to a game with my family and during batting practice I was down the left field line. A ball was hit on the ground and the security guard stuck his foot out and the ball bounced over the first row of people and into my glove. Later that night I got another ball that was thrown by Chet Lemon from centerfield that got past the ball-boy and I leaned over the wall and picked it up. 30 years later I am closing in on 3,000 balls caught during the regular season and 5,000 balls over all** which includes balls caught, retrieved or snagged at minor league games and during spring training as well!! I look forward to sharing the details of the past as well as this years chase for 3,000 regular season baseballs*! * regular season baseballs include playoffs, world series and World Baseball classic games ** over all total includes all of the above plus spring training and minor league baseball games
