You guys, my random contribution to this IGT is that I got a foul ball during the game! Top of the 8th, Todd Frazier fouled an Estrada pitch back toward the press box. The ball caromed off the press box wall and landed in my baseball bag. I was ducking, heard an odd noise and saw the ball in my bag.

 

The hilarious thing was how many of the fans sitting around us remarked "nice catch" to me after. There was no catch, unless you count the bag being in the right place at the right time.

 

I was also plunked in the back by a different caroming foul ball in the 7th, this one off Braun's bat. I don't think it even left a bruise, though.

Congrats!

 

You could probably sell that foul ball that Frazier hit, in Toms River NJ for $500 but I'd advise keeping it

9 years in Milwaukee, 300 brewers games. Not one ball. Congrats!
