What happens when you catch a player's 1st home run? (Citi Field)
Спорт
You're at Major League Baseball game. You snag a home run ball in the bleachers. Stadium security tells you that the player wants it. THEN WHAT???
This was a single-admission doubleheader at Citi Field, and my goal was to catch a home run. That's often my goal, but I knew that the odds were much better on this particular day because of how empty the stadium would be.
This video was filmed on September 13, 2018. Many thanks to my friend Jeff Siegel for getting lots of bonus footage and allowing me to use it. Check him out on Instagram: @votejs
Here's the Miguel Rojas home run that I caught (thanks to Benny):

This is the kid that grew up silent in highschool. His dad took him to every baseball game for their favorite home team. Every single game. And now he does what he love and shares it with the world. How awesome!

Never caught a home run, never sat out there. I did catch a foul ball once at Petco Park, gave it to a little boy about 8 years ago sitting near me. The look on his face was priceless. Made my day and probably his too. People sitting next to me said that was an awesome thing that you did. My response was, I was just wanted to do the right thing. Actually it made MY DAY.
I dont even watch baseball but gotta love the passion this guy have! Damn that second 1st homerun ball that got away.. so close!

Not only is it his first home run Matz is a pitcher so it could end up being Matz's only career home run, especially with the DH coming in.

Are used to love going to Yankee Stadium I was 14, 15 and 16 years old, and getting there right when the stadium opened up during batting practice, and being the first one there and getting 2 to 3 balls before the game started. That was lotta fun. But when I got to my late 20s I realize that these balls are not really doing anything sitting around in my house, so I gave them all away to kids in my neighborhood and to children that I worked with and Taught.
