This guy got lucky because the guards didn't see him, but YOU don't need luck to save money.

Okay, story time. Ya ready? When the Royals renovated the outfield seats at Kauffman Stadium in 2009, fans were allowed to retrieve baseballs from the fountains. Hell, I even brought a metal device just for this purpose, and I went nuts with it. Check out my blog entry from June 16, 2009 to see what I'm talking about:

It was so much fun and caused zero harm, and I was even featured on TV at the stadium performing my "fountain trick," but now the guards are strict and don't allow people to even reach over the railings. In fact they'll threaten you with a trespassing charge if you touch the water because that's considered "entering the fountains." Yes, really. It makes me sad, but hey, let this serve as a warning if you find yourself at arm's length from a floating baseball. Don't get arrested. It's really not worth it -- not during batting practice, at least, but hey, for a game home run? Well, you can decide.
Anyway, the Royals were facing the Baltimore Orioles, and what started as a pitchers' duel ended as a slugfest. Vinnie Pasquantino hit a home run into his team's bullpen, Adley Rutschman blasted a grand slam in my direction, and MJ Melendez hit one that . . . I don't ever want to talk about for the rest of my life. For me personally, this was a really fun day that ended up frustrating the craaaaap outta me. Oh, and Jackson Holliday? He didn't do anything at the plate, but he did chuck me a warmup ball before BP so that was cool.
