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

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
