It took me TWO YEARS to catch this special baseball - World Series magic at Tropicana Field

This whole day was UNREAL -- early access, free food, joking around with the players, tons of action during batting practice, catching a commemorative World Series baseball from the year 2020, and many other highlights.
Huge thanks to the Tampa Bay Rays for hooking things up for me and my videographer "Fenway Chris" (@yonnernyc). Thanks as well to my friend Mike and his boys for arranging yet another day of unlimited food inside the Rays Club, and while I'm at it, thanks to the Kansas City Royals for being part of all this craziness.

2020 is the year I lost a great friend. He passed due to Covid and I’ve collected every ball from that year that I can but can’t find a World Series 2020 ball. When you held that ball up. I burst into tears. I miss him every day of my life.

That WS ball is truly special, I hope you got to buy dinner for said provider. Glad the Rays have figured out that it is so easy to get 100k positive eyeballs on their product. Hope it turns into increased ticket purchases for them.

I would count them all. My thought is that all those years of tremendous hard work when you were a relative unknown has now resulted in the fruits of some stadiums allowing you special access. You earned it! The compromise could be that you don't hustle to chase down those balls that you don't catch (as you did here), but if a ball happens to land right at your feet or just a row over for example, and you pick it up with minimal effort, then YES, you should count those.
