Ball should always go back to the hitter if he wants it -- nm - Karl_S May 8, 18:07 10
- Meh. - TFox May 8, 18:10 8
  - That should last longer than one hit. -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 18:12 6
    - Balls last longer than one hit too. (?) -- nm - TFox May 8, 18:13 5
      - Other than the ones that go into the stands, if they aren't scuffed/marked, they go back into the mix to be used again. -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 18:14 4
        
        I... ok. Yes. They do. -- nm - TFox May 8, 18:15 3
        
        And just where do you disagree? -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 18:17 2
        
        lii, I can't go to Neverland with you tonight. I'm sorry. -- nm - TFox May 8, 18:18 1
        
        I was agreeing with you but you seem to have a problem with that. -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 18:24
  - This -- nm - Bacon May 8, 18:10
- Yep. just good etiquette. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 18:08
Only type of hit of homer I'd throw back if I was in the Bleachers. -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 17:54 10
- That would be dumb. - Iron Spawn May 8, 17:58 9
  - The dumbest person is whomever threw it back, but they're a Phillies fan so that explains it. -- nm - Tim May 8, 18:02 1
    - Wrigley Field Bleacherites tend to tell whoever catches a homer from the other side to throw it back. - the liioulu with May 8, 18:06
  - With the first hit/homer they usually throw you another ball. - the liioulu with May 8, 18:01 3
    - By keeping it, the family got tickets to another game and a bat. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 8, 18:02 2
      - Sometimes you get more. Depends. - the liioulu with May 8, 18:03 1
        
        Greed, is good. -- nm - The Bub May 8, 18:05
  - Wasn't there a Jeter ball or something that the guy gave back to the player? He was in huge debt with college loans. - Bacon May 8, 17:59 2
    - Yup. - Iron Spawn May 8, 18:02
    - Jeter's a different story. ;) - the liioulu with May 8, 18:02
