    Re: I Don't Get It! - Why Is He Getting So Much Positive Publicity?

    I was at Dodger Stadium that last Wednesday night when the Dodgers were playing the Nationals.....in the hopes of catching (but most likely attempting to buy from the fan that did catch) this exact homerun ball.

    It's his career #534, and ties him with one of my all-time favorite players, Jimmie Foxx.

    I know this is a leap.........but if anyone ever comes into contact with the person who ended up with that ball, please put him in contact with me. I want that ball, and will pay handsomely for it.

    $100 finders fee if that happens.....but I hope the fan who caught it gets some kind of proof.....maybe is seen on TV via video, or hopefully the MLB authenticator at the game places a sticker on it.

    Knowing the Dodger organization, maybe they escorted the guy back to a private office and are offering him something for the ball.....but I'm not sure, because it didn't take place at Dodger Stadium.

    Oops....I didn't finish my first thought.

    That Wednesday night was the night before that Thursday morning they announced Manny's 50-game suspension. So now he's back, and on the road, and hit the home run I wanted so badly.

    Such is life.

    The guy who caught it was a Padres fan and he said he knew it was worth a lot of money. They showed him on TV right after he hit it.

    The promise stands....


    If ANYONE can get me in touch with the guy, I will pay a $100.00 finders fee, no questions asked, if I can consumate a deal with the guy.

    And trust me, if you get me in contact with him, it will be a done deal. NO ONE would pay him more for that particular home run ball than I would.

    Thanks,

    Steve
