I've known about that guy for a while. He's the kind of person who runs around at batting practice trying to get every ball ge can. He apparently is involved in a charity and people pledge money for the balls he gets from pro stadiums. I laugh on this one though because he hasn't mentioned anything about charity in regards to this ball. All that being said could you believe the odds that he's the one who gets this ball? Also, caught Trouts first career homer and the last homer hit at Shea stadium.

Seems like the guy is a bit out there, states A-rod deserves no favors from anyone least of all a fan, what were you doing at the ball yard JO. If the guy is truly involved in a charity then give back the ball, the charity gets a donation everyone is happy. We all know A-hole did wrong, he lied, among others things. The man was punished, most of us don't subscribe to his "records" fine, but if considerable donations to charities can be made by his actions then let it be. Another example of shit that the Ahole brought on himself.

You can read about the guy on the internet. Also, has some videos on YouTube. Honestly, seems like the type who would knock over a little kid for a ball.

Yeah he claims the Yankees offered him 4 autographed bats from A-Rod to which he replied, "I collect baseballs not bats". But if this guy is really serious about his charity work then take the 4 signed bats & auction them off with ALL proceeds going to charity. What's the problem?

Because he's full of crap. He just likes the attention. I wonder how much of these pledges pay for his tickets and whatever else. Frankly, I think he clearly has OCD or something.

Plus, dude you're 37 years old. Running around the stadiums with a glove on is a little ridiculous.

I really don't believe for a minute, His claim to catching 8,000 base balls.....
162 games per year, times what......?
I'd like to see his ticket stubs for every game he went to, in his entire life, and I really doubt he's been to more than a couple hundred games, in His life.....
The guy is full of shit, why would anyone believe Him??? I sure as hell don't/won't, not til I've seen all 8,000 balls, (and tix stubs).....
