In any case, you were pretty eloquent up above on the relative values of the caught ball vs. the handed ball. <br /><br />I'd like to say I hope you catch a foul ball soon, but I'd rather not jinx (further) their chances of a series title.nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07679401295330820469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250683060520895629.post-70692031466331883732009-05-14T12:59:00.000-05:002009-05-14T12:59:00.000-05:00I've never gotten a ball either Tim.
