    My daughters first homerun ball!

    Took my daughter and niece to a marlins game tonight and they ended up getting their first homerun ball. It was a 3 run shot by Justin Bour in the sixth inning. What's crazy is that it landed 5 rows back from us but it bounced back towards us and landed square in between these two girls and in their seats....it was magic ...never have I ever caught a homer ball but these two now have something to remember for sure! I need some ideas on how to make them a display for this

    How awesome is that!? Very cool. A game and moment nobody will forget, tickets framed and maybe keep an eye out and see if getting that bat he used to hit it will surface in the future.

    Mook: Thanks for the compliment, but I am not, and never was, the master Ballhawk, even in just Chicago and even before my health went sour. Dave Davison, Moe Mullins and Rich Buhrke are all more accomplished at the craft than I am. I'm a middle of the road level guy, but certainly not on their level.

    Again, great to see you and the kids have a special moment at the game.

    Re: My daughters first homerun ball!

    Thank you guys again ...this is the reason why I collect for these moments. I actually got real caught up in the moment when it happened because the guy to my righy actually reached in towards the girls and I had to intervene and retrieve the ball. As soon as I did I became overwhelmed with emotion that I kind of celebrated and raised the ball in the air (kinda in my own little world for a moment) I was probably on the jumbotron. Then I came to and quickly gave the ball to my kid......I didn't want to be that guy lol who keeps a ball and not give to the kids haha

    That is awesome!

    However, based on the thread's title, I thought the ball was from your daughter hitting her first home run.
    Now that would be even cooler
