LYC: I went home from a baseball game with four foul balls but I didn't catch any of them. -- (edited)

The ball boy that was sitting by the tarp on the third base side of the field was just collecting the foul balls and wasn't giving them to anyone in the stands. This was in the late 80s and Yankee stadium was rather empty but there were still plenty of kids he could have tossed them to. At one point he ran away and I hung over the fence with my cousin holding my ankles as I scooped up as many baseballs as I could. I handed out a few and my cousin and I each kept two to take home. I still have one. The other was used one day and lost.
Another time I grabbed one out of the bullpen cart while taking a tour of the stadium.
