So any game you are watching on t.v. - you just make a call around the bottom of the 5th (that's when they bring the balls up to the store at Safeco), and if they have it, they take your c.c. info and mail it to you?
The way it works at Safeco is that you stand in line around the bottom of the 5th, and when the balls are brought up, 1st person in line gets first pick from the list of balls. They wouldn't save one for me, and everyone in line gets to pick from the list in order. Anyone who called in would have to wait until the line was processed, and I don't know if they would sell it to you over the phone.
I got in line first, and they didn't actually bring the balls up until the 8th. They waited because they only had one Mariner foul-ball - everything else was Rangers. While I was standing in line, Cano hit the double that I ended up with; otherwise, I would have stood in line for nothing.
