I can’t believe we only snagged 117 balls amongst all of us. We can do better next week.

I need to get up to Arlington more often. That place is heaven for snagging. I asked two little old ladies to let me in early as their season ticket guest and had 2 1/2 hours to snag. That plus unfettered use of the glove trick plus no ushers checking tickets equals the perfect storm of snagging. I can’t wait to go for a series that doesn’t involve the Yankees. I bet they inflated the crowd quite a bit.

Just for the record both Happy and myself caught “Milestone Homers” this past week!

Happy caught his 50th and I grabbed my 100th. Ok so they were both on toss-ups but when it is a home run ball it really doesn’t matter how you get it!!

Not that it makes a difference one way or another, but why do toss up homeruns count as game balls for the ballhawk league, but third out balls, umpire balls and toss up fouls do not? I can see counting them in your personal total, but not for the league.
