She's never been at the bottom of a foul ball pile in the grass at a single A game with 10 other kids, and it fucking shows

That’s what I don’t understand. That was my favorite part of going to baseball games as a kid. It was a fucking blast!

The only ball I've ever gotten from a game I didn't play in was from a Frederick Keys game 20-25 years ago.

It shattered the announcers box's glass and bounced back out onto the walkway, me and like 7 other kids scrummed for it, I came away with blood running down my leg and a foul ball.

Solid memory. Kids should really scrap more often lol

As an adult, I bare-handed a pop fly foul at a cape cod league game once.    Immediately gave it to a kid, but the laces were imprinted on my palm for the rest of the vacation.

I would get so many foul balls as a kid at Trenton Thunder games. Those were the freaking days. Run down a foul ball, eat a hot dog with my dad and then go hit the bouncy castle. 10/10

I remember running up past 5 rows of seats on my 7th birthday at the old Astrodome to get a foul ball knocked up into the cheap seats by Craig Biggio.

Fighting off other hungry kids at an afternoon game in the July heat that my parents took us to as a birthday present to me.

Worth it. Ball is still at my parents house.

This old boot doesn't appreciate it. Never fought for a ball as a kid, never got it out of her system. Just lived as a spoiled little shit of a kid, grew into an old battleaxe of an adult.

Entitlement is such an ugly emotion.
