Would YOU have eaten this? Someone from the dugout tossed it onto the roof and I thought, "Why not?!"
I started the day with a lifetime total of 10,986 baseballs, and I ended up catching more than I expected. How close did I get to 11,000?
Another highlight was seeing a position player come in to pitch a scoreless inning . . . and THEN hit a home run of his own several minutes later. This was a wacky day.
