That’s nuts.

Apparently he is a Brewers ballhawk (think Zack Hample) named Ballhawk Shawn or "toyota territory guy". He usually sits at that exact spot every game.

Toyotas… hah, real men drive Jeeps.

I sure hope he gave all of those baseballs to children.

Doubt it, the ballhawks usually keep them all for their collection. Especially the homerun balls.

I know it’s not nice to judge, but those ballhawk guys strike me as being giant fucking losers.

I'm joking about a previous argument, here. I dislike the notion that people have to give away baseballs they catch to children. If they do, great. I also don't like people running into other sections to catch fly balls. If it comes to you, great. In the aisle, have at it. Bounces off somebody's hands? Anybody's ball. Don't bump me out of the spot I paid for a ticket to be in to take away a home run or pop foul.

I think one guy got banned for it

There was a fake tweet going around a couple years ago about Zack Hample getting banned from all MLB stadiums but it wasn't real.

https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/no-mlb-did-not-actually-190334934.html

He is banned from a college stadium though.

In August 2022, Hample attempted to enter a prohibited section at Coors Field, which required a specific ticket for entry, to catch a Nolan Arenado home run ball. After Hample refused to comply, a group of security guards told him he would be ejected if he did not remain seated. Hample agreed, but complained about the "fan experience." According to one Twitter user, a Rockies usher also claimed Hample had grabbed a ball dropped by a young fan and refused to return it.^[27] Chicago Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman criticized Hample for the incident, calling him "a loser."^[28] The Portland Pickles, a collegiate summer baseball team, announced that Hample was banned from attending games at Walker Stadium following the incident.^[29] Hample later removed a video about the incident from his channel and posted an apology.^{[30]

I watched a youtube video about one guy. I think it was a Mets fan.

Unlucky it wasn't Mune's first.

Could have extracted all kinds of goodies from the Sox.

Colson might not even want it back after the loss and then subsequent long fly out he just missed.

Maybe his dad would pay to get it back.

Thankfully the guy who got Mune's was super cool about it and all he took was a photo and signed bat.

Better outfielder than Benintendi

About the same 2 step range. He's got Benny on the glove tho.

I guess I don't see the value in a baseball. You have to find a place to put it and hope you can sell it. Maybe that started when I was a kid and Billy Williams signed my glove. It was the only glove I had so I had to use it. We didn't have a vault or a cell phone for the possible payday.

See Ohtani 50/50 ball proudly displayed in a TaipeI bank...my most value is Roberto Clemente and 1949 Brooklyn Dodgers team signed.

Yeah maybe took kids are at home with babysitter and he took the wife to the game. No shame in bringing a ball home. Personally I have never come close to a ball in the stands.
