Ok, if you've ever seen a picture of Milwaukee's Miller Park, you know that in left field there is a Friday's Sports Grill, and so today, me and two friends went to a game with someone's parents tickets. So we're sitting there really close to the field, and right next to the Brewers bullpen.
In between innings the players warm up by playing catch with each other, and then 70% of the time throw the ball to the ballgirl on the side of the field. 30% of the time though the players throw the ball into the crowd.
So Lenny Harris gets done warming up, and sees us at the outdoor section of the Restaurant calling for the ball, and he throws it up to us, and I snag it!! It was totally sweet! First ball I've ever caught, and here's the freakish part. Yesterday I found my baseball glove in my trunk, I hadn't seen it for months, and so I'm on my way out of the house, and I take it along. Most kids take gloves, but as you get older it gets stupid. Anyways I take it, and I totally catch this ball that without the glove my friend would have caught, or probably dropped with his barehand.
It was freaking awesome! I gotta play baseball with this thing tomorrow.
