Getting GU item during a game

It wasn't for a game worn item.

Well...not really, but did that little girl go out there with the sole purpose of obtaining a gamer?

In my experience at ball games, the gift of a gamer usually comes from one of several events:

A player injures a fan accidentally.
A player is trading a fan for an item (special HR ball, ect.)
An item is unuseable (lacing breaks in old glove)
It is the end of the season and a player tosses some stuff in the stands

I doubt anyone actually goes onto the field to specifically get something that was used in a game.

Could be wrong though...

I did see JR Rider's mom come out on the court and defend her son against a ref's call. That was classic. Even my girlfriend (now my wife) remembers that one.

I have. At Busch, there are the shirtless wonders (usually from the south city (JK) that have too many tall glasses of Busch. The idea is to make it from one foul pole to the other. They know better than to approach the players. If memory serves correctly, Rex Hudler (bad a--) gave a clothesline to a kid approaching him in the outfield.

A night in the downtown jail is not a good experience to tell the kids about. They put all of the detainees in the same cell.

I guess everyone wishes they got a foul ball or a bat during a game that they attend.

Once went to an Angels and A's game and was sitting on the first base side when a gradeschool
girl, with the help of her father, got onto the field during an angel's at bat. the little ran to jose canseco and got a hug before security got her. before she left canseco gave her his batting glove that was in his back pocket.
the girl got escorted out of the stand but saw a few women wish they had that glove. the little was waving the glove, all smiles, as she left the stands.

Later a fat chick tried the same thing but was tackled by security before getting to canseco

You ever witness anything similar at a game?
