6-29-10 Progressive Field
Another day of snagging at Progressive Field in Cleveland.
I was the first one into the stadium, and despite there being early batting practice, didn’t find any baseballs on my first sweep through the sections. I also checked Heritage Park, where there was nothing.
Upon returning from Heritage Park I spotted a baseball as another ballhawk/autograph hound was picking it up. I was about five seconds too late.
Since the Indians have a new later batting practice schedule, this gave me plenty of time to search. I went up and down every row and searched for about ten minutes before finally happening upon ball #1, hidden in the shadows:
When the Indians began hitting, I would get ball #2 from Shin Soo Choo. It was a home run that I caught on the fly in center field, fully extended in this area:

Nice game! As a Jays fan, it’s always extra cool to read your blog when it’s a game involving Toronto. Great work, as always.

Hey I’m new here. I am the fan with the Indians batting practice jersey on. After #6 I heard something hilarious, a lady said someone should knock you out. As a tall person, I have had plenty of times in my few games to snag just by using the extra inches I have, so I was not at all upset about that one, plus I was set up about 5 feet from where it ended up so it really left the door open. And I ended up with 2 anyways, which sadly ties my game high (lol) so I’m fine.
