What would you do if you caught Pujols' 501st?


Recommended Posts

I've only caught one foul ball. In 2002, the night the players were going to go on strike my then wife caught a home run ball. That was a crazy night, the fans were booing the players for possibly striking. They were throwing rolls upon rolls of toilet paper on the field. Then in about the 7th inning the right field pavilion, where we were sitting threw about 15-20 beach balls on the field at the same time. Well anyway, when my wife caught the home run ball everyone was yelling, "throw it back, throw it back!". She asked if I was ready to get thrown out of the game, I said, sure. She threw it back onto the field. Frank the usher with the hearing aids escorted us out of that section and told us to go find other seats. My wife was getting high fives all the way up, mainly cuz she caught the ball bare handed. I think it was Ben Grieve or someone like that that hit the homer. My exwife still takes credit for the Angels winning the series, because if she wouldn't have thrown the ball back in disgust of them possibly going on strike then they might have gone on strike. She of course says it in jest, but still kinda a cool story.
