moose, speaking of high energy transfer, I had a chance to break my hand and a ballhawk effed it up

Posted by crash davis (aka crash davis) Oct 12 '09, 12:56

Paul O'Neill fouled a Randy Johnson fastball right at me and everyone sitting by me hit the deck. I stood up and held up my hands as it was coming at me like a rocket. When it was 6 inches away from me, a freaking ballhawk from a row behind me had stuck his glove in front of me hands and it bounced up and over.

I was mad at myself for not moving up a foot or two to catch it and pissed at the guy behind me. But looking back on it and how fast it travelled, I probably would have ended up at the ER to get my hands checked out. I think I'm lucky, but I'm still slightly bitter.

I guess ballhawks and energy transfer made that story pop into my head so I had to share my boring story.

    - Screw that. If I'm in a prime foul ball territory, I'm bringing a glove. - musubi Oct 12, 13:06 6
      - I had a sweet hookup for seats in foul territory one season. My roomate always brought his glove. He got mocked mercilessly by my other roommate. -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 13:07
      - I'll allow it if you're with a little one and you're using it to protect them. But otherwise, man up. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 13:07 1
        
        Eff that noise. Pro infielders who are far more athletic than I get to use glove to field screaming liners, so do I. (nm) - musubi Oct 12, 13:09
      - I would now only when I'm taking the niece or nephew to a game. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 13:06 2
        
        also, it's harder to two-fist beers. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 13:09 1
        
        But in this economy, who can afford to? - Will Hunting Oct 12, 13:10
