Lee BehrensJay and I went to the Twins game tonight and a long standing drought has come to an end. We ssaw a nicely pitched game in which the Twins won 4-0 on a Johan Santana 3 hitter, GO TWINS!!!!!
During the game I got my first foul ball in a major league game. I have attended at least 250 games in my lifetime never to have one come close until this year when I was at a game with my uncle who is handicap and a foul ball was coming down straight at me (I forgot my glove for the game, go figure) I bailed out and to my shugrin realized that a handicapped guy next to me was below, it missed him and bounced away. Tonight afoul ball came down to me off the bat of Doug Mientwicz, with my glove on my left hand and snared the ball. The ball was than given to a boy sitting in front of us ( He was one happy guy, and very grateful). I could finally say that I got a foul ball!!!!!!!
By the way Jay headed under the seat for cover.
