We have a first time winner of the ballhawk league this week, and its the District Boy.  Congratulations.  With the Washington Nationals having a horrible attendance, and a great park to snag in (with early gate times), watch out for the District Boy as he moves up the standings.

Other notes:
*Zack Hample snagged his 4,000th career ball in Los Angeles this week.

*Greg Barasch and Connor joined the league.  (Barasch has over 650 career balls snagged)

*The Happy Youngster is back and snagging again after last week’s craziness.  Good to see him back in action.

*Last week’s top ballhawk, Erik Jabs, attended 0 games along with 10 other ballhawks in the league.
