I was gonna watch this game live but I was sooooo tired from being with family for hours in Virginia and crashed into my hotel room that afternoon and woke up to a notification from some weird guy asking how many grand slams he has and who hit them, haha and it took me a minute to realize what happened. Then I was too tired to function and couldn’t name all of them, forgot Starlin Castro. I’m ashamed.

[@zackhample]

No one else was going for it. I drifted down the stairs and one other guy reached for it. His bare hand bumped my glove as I was about to catch it, so that caused the ball to hit the palm of my glove and drop down into the seat for an easy grab. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When I was growing up I think throwing a home run back was just a Wrigley Field thing, and even then I heard that fans in the bleachers would bring a ball to the game so they could throw that one back, and keep the real one.
