Because this guy hasn't. Missed 2 balls directly at him...AND the ball boy tossing him the 2nd miss

I had one wiz by me as a youngster at Tiger Stadium. Being a kid it
1) probably wasn't that close
and 2) I would have had no shot at catching that heater
Other than that never been close to a ball. Two direct shots in one game is crazy to me.

A ball landed 20ft away from me at the only game I went to this year. That's the closest I've ever come.

Saturday afternoon at Wrigley about 30 years ago friend's brother sitting next to me in left field front row caught a line drive HR. Caught it like he was wearing a glove with his bare hand. It was really cool.

As the game went on the alcohol begann to wear off and his whole hand swelled up. He missed a few days of work because of it.

Pop foul behind the plate/over the netting at a Lugnuts game. Have also gotten a couple pucks at Munn.

He missed 3, not 2. Dude has some sweet hand eye coordination. Wonder if his gf dumped him that night.

Have a friend and his dad had Yankee season tickets for 20+ years.outfield seats brought his glove every game and his dream was to catch a hr.

Had them come close but never to his seat. One time he came back from the bathroom and he found out a ball had been hit right at his seat.

Well finally a few years ago he caught one off of a rod. He had some pretty cool Facebook photos of his dad in the pin stripe jersey, with glove and ball.

I caught a couple when I played shortstop in little league  - just over behind the third basemen's head and too shallow for the left fielder to get to. I had the better angle.

But I have caught two hockey pucks.

I had a ball land two rows directly in front of me at a Marlins game last year. Surprisingly, there were actually people there, and the dipshit fumbled it and it fell a couple of rows further forward.

Prior to that, the closest was when I was a kid at Tiger Stadium, sitting in the lower deck right field in the seat right net to the entrance-way to the concourse. During batting practice Ben Ogilvy (for the Brewers, IIRC?) hit a line drive homer that slammed into the part just above the entrance way with the section number about 3 feet from me.

I've caught two.

The first one was when I was 12 down at a Tigers spring training game with my friend and his family (hit by the great Juan Samuel) and the other was about 7 years ago at a Great Lakes Loons game.

Be jealous bitches.

Was he able to wipe his ass?

He had a tough time but he hired some out of work lawyer with a pet parrot who wiped it for him.

I have not ever caught a foul ball. I'd like to think I'd do better than that guy, but I doubt I would.

Was I the only one in this thread that actually played baseball? Of course I have.
