My First . . .
So, I went to the Mets' home opener tonight and ended up sitting in section 109 instead of my regular seats in section 513. Top of the 3rd, Ian Desmond hits a foul ball about twenty or so feet behind first base, and true to form, Ike Davis muffs it. He then picks it up and tosses it into the crowd and I am the recipient of my first, and likely only, foul ball. I'm almost 32, and as luck would have it, there wasn't a child in sight for me to hand it off to so this was all mine. Maybe I'm a little sadistic, but I think this is better than a foul ball that was just hit into the crowd because this one is tainted with a small bit of Mets' failure. That's my story, and I am a happy, and probably slightly cursed man.
