Hey Erik, that unidentified Marlins player who tossed you a ball on 4-21-09 is definitely Matt Lindstrom the Marlins closer. Good Luck!

Damn, I wish you could have included everyone in that chart. (Maybe at the end of each month you could do a league chart?)

I’ve been having a slow time lately, and I’m not having any more games this week, but I am going to have 3 games in the second week from now so I hope that propels me up a bit.

I finally made it to a game after essentially 2 weeks away. I even got a few balls! The only thing that I hate is the fact that I could go to the Angels / Red Sox tomorrow but I most likely there will be no BP and I can only stay for about an hour and 45 min of the game because I have to work.
So do I go and pray for game home run #100 or do I pass it up and hope I can talk the wife into going to San Diego on Saturday??

Honestly I would love to just ditch the job and Ballhawk full time but for some reason people think that you have to be a responsible adult these days……….. UGH!! Just like the ballplayers we are grown men playing a kids game ….. lol
