Ditz!
“Bleacher Bum” fans at Texas Ranger games have also contracted this mental disorder that is apparently epidemic at Wrigley Field. (Of course “bleacher bum” is a bit of a misnomer given the outrageous prices of outfield home run porch seats in Texas, but I digress.) It is rather funny every time a visiting team home run is hit. The moron in the outfield seats that catches the ball invariably throws it back onto the field to the loud cheers of the rest of the mentally unstable fans. The ball is then retrieved by one of the “ball girls” (we used to have ball boys but now most of them are girls who play either high school or college fast pitch softball) and then the ball girl returns to her station along the foul line and dozens of foul line seat fans beg and clamor for her to toss them the ball. So some lucky fan takes home that home run ball from the visiting team after the dufus that caught it throws it back onto the field.
Wouldn’t give the ball to the step-sons? He was just being a jerk to them. Not a big fan or he would have know that.
