One and only one
I've been going to games for 40 years, and while I'd been close a few time, the only time I've gotten a foul ball was at a Beloit Snappers game five years ago. The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, who were affiliated with the Mariners were in town, and a young shortstop named Ozzie Navarro lined a foul down the third base line. It hit the bleachers next to me which took the steam off of it and I scrambled after it, picking up my only foul ball. Ozzie's in the Astros system now and I've never come close again.
It's on the shelf next to me and I can see it whenever I look up from my computer.
