9/8/09 Yankees vs. Rays
I haven’t been caught up my blogging lately, I have been busy with school. But I have had some great days recently. And this was one of them.
You know how I got 10 baseballs at Citi Field on September 4? One of the things that makes Citi Field easier than Yankee stadium is that BP is usually started when you enter. This day Yankee Stadium was like Citi Field for a bit.
There was the crowd at the Great Hall:
There was early BP!
The first thing I did was look for easter eggs. I entered the furthest section in RF from home plate and then looked to my left. I saw a baseball lying in a row, just sitting. An usher was walking towards it so I just said:
“I got it.” He stepped back and let me pick up my 1st ball, and also my first easter egg at NYS.
And then I went on a snagging rampage.
I got 4 more batted balls in the span of 9 minutes. It was so quick that I forgot how I got each baseball. None of them were caught on the fly, but I do know that at least for 2 baseballs were ground-ruled doubles and the others were baseballs that landed in the seats and I got them. There were only 2 hitters in early BP; Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera, but I don’t know who hit each one. All I know is that my 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th balls were batted balls not caught on the fly. I would’ve had more had another ballhawk named Steve not been there, and he would have had more balls had I not been there. We each snagged around the same amount of baseballs. In the photo below he is the person standing to the left of me, talking on the phone:
And here are the baseballs, numbers 2-5 (Top Left: Ball #2, Top Right: Ball #3, Bottom Left: Ball #4, Bottom Right: Ball #5):
That was all I got in Right Field because after 10 minutes they switched to righty batters. So I moved over to LF.
And also I know the source of my next ball.
I was standing Left Field trying for home runs. One was hit to my right, un-getable, but I followed its path hoping for a lucky bounce. I didn’t get the bounce, but on the pitch after that one, the batter, Melky Cabrera, lifted a high one that was going to land in the section I was in. But it was going a couple rows over my head. I ran up the steps, and it landed in a seat in the second to last row, a bomb, maybe 410 feet. I went over to the seat and looked in.
It landed in a seat and with its force it went out the bottom and it stayed on the ground. I picked up my 6th ball and checked out the ball to see if it had any unique markings.
It did, and the marking was most likely caused by going through the seat with it’s force:
Early BP ended soon after. The coaches/players/ballboys picked up the balls lying around, and I saw the big Mike Harkey pick up two balls in shallow CF. I called out to him and he tossed me the ball, but it fell short. I leaned way out and down. He gave me another throw, but it was the exact same result as the previous attempt (FYI I am in the corner spot, reaching very low down).
There were no more balls around me, so he walked towards me and picked up another balls. The next throw was high. I had to step back and leap, but I still caught my 7th ball, pointed to by the red arrow below.
Early BP ended had already ended and there were no more baseballs to be snagged, so I posed with my haul:
After early BP it was Old New Yankee Stadium all over again. I got no more balls until around 45 minutes later.
Some Tampa Bay Rays came out to the row while the Yankees were hitting. And only a couple Rays, not the whole pitching staff. One of the pairs of players was Lance Cormier and Randy Choate. I positioned myself above a ball that I could’ve gotten with the glove trick, hoping that when they finished they would pick it up. I didn’t get that ball, but I called out to Lance when he was done. Surprisingly instead of tossing the ball to foul territory he tossed it to me in fair territory. My 8th ball.
I was thinking double digits. It was very likely. But my record of 15? It was possible, unlikely, but I had to try.
By then I figured out that the Rays would not be hitting, only the Yankees. So my record of 15 was more unlikely.
I went back to deep Left Field hoping for a homer from regular BP. I waited and waited and waited until they started kicking people out. It got a bit emptier, good. And pretty soon a fly ball was lifted in my direction. I took a couple steps down and got ready for the ball. I timed my jump and reached out for the ball. There were a couple of people going for it, but somehow I was able to catch my 9th ball on the fly in the tip of my glove.
There was a new usher who was telling me that I could catch a ball. When I caught the ball he congratulated me, asked where I was sitting and made me over to foul territory. He is indicated by the blue arrow in the photo below.
Some Rays were still throwing at the foul line, and a couple baseballs were lying against the wall. I figured that when they were done they would toss the baseballs up, so I put my Rays’ cap on and waited for them to finish. But one of my favorite Yankees was nearby also, Alfredo Aceves. He was talking to someone, so when he finished he walked over to pick up the baseballs. I took off my Rays’ cap and asked him for the baseball in Spanish. Even though I think he has recognized me, and he has seen me get multiple baseballs throughout the course of the year, he still tossed me the baseball, my 10th ball, which broke double digits for the day.
BP was ending and I didn’t have an autograph because not really anyone signed. But I saw a Ray sitting on the wall down the foul line, right next to the corner spot. I ran over there and took out a baseball. I saw that he was number 38, so after looking at my roster I saw that it was Fernando Perez. So I went up to him and got him to sign my 1st autograph, and took a photo with him.
I entered the game with no more autographs and baseballs. I had never gotten 10 baseballs during BP alone at New Yankee Stadium, so I figured that I would be able to get at least one more baseball. So I tried at the dugout, and got nothing. When it was getting late in the game I headed out to the bullpen to try for a baseball. I saw Bobby Ramos, who I had gotten a ball from each time I was at New Yankee Stadium. I shouted his name and asked for a baseball, but he disappeared. I sat down, and then saw a baseball being tossed up and down in the air, almost to tease the fans. But it was too close to the wall. Was it Bobby Ramos trying to give me a baseball? I don’t know, but I tried reaching out and grabbing the baseball. I was unsuccessful, but eventually the ball landed on top of the billboard, so I just reached out and grabbed it, my 11th baseball.
And then people started chanting throw it back. Really? A baseball that I got in the bullpen that I was asking for? Whether or not they were being serious it turned into a big thing, with about 75 people chanting “Throw it back!” and another 50 people chanting “Keep the ball!” I did the obvious and kept the baseball, photographed it, and then went away.
And that would be my last baseball of the night. 11 baseballs set my record at the New Yankee Stadium, but I heard that another person, most likely Steve, got 12 baseballs today. So does anyone know if anybody has gotten more than 12 baseballs at New Yankee Stadium? Who else has gotten double digits at New Yankee Stadium?

7/20/09 Yankees vs. Orioles
Behind on 4 entries, gonna make this one short and sweet, but overall a great week.
I arrived late for this game for the first time in a while. About 5 minutes late. But when I got in there was action on the field (finally!).
Not BP, some players were out by the dugout and foul line and three ballhawks were there: Zack (with a client, Andrew), Tony, and Rich.
The pitchers gathered in a circle to stretch and I asked David Robertson for his ball when he was done throwing.
“I gave you one last time,” he said, pointing to the Right Field wall.
Last time? Don’t you mean THIS time? But I still tried to get the ball. He was throwing with Mark Melancon by the Legends. With perfect timing the music quieted down right as he finished and I called him out. He responded by throwing me my 1st baseball over the partition.
The Yankees started hitting and naturally I expected a ton of baseballs with a low crowd to see the Orioles, but NOOOO, 46,324 fans decided to this match-up.
I didn’t want to get in the way with other ballhawks, and I laid off a bit after an elbow was delivered to my temple.
I did get one more ball though. C.C. Sabathia was having a bullpen session in the Right Field Bullpen and in there to watch him was Dave Eiland, Mike Harkey, and the Bullpen Catcher.
A few home runs landed in the bullpen, one about 15 feet from me, with its Yankees logo facing me. I asked Mike Harkey for the ball, and after a bit he walked over, picked up the ball and tossed it over the netting. My 2nd ball was a spotless ball.
I had been having luck in Left Field recently, so I decided to head out there.
The Orioles started throwing while the Yankees were still hitting. Some Orioles went into the bullpen to throw. One of them was Jason Berken. I could see that he had a ball tucked in his glove, so I asked him:
“Is there any chance that I could have that ball?”
“Yeah, when I’m done.”
First, though, Brad Bergesen had to do his session. So after waiting for Berken to finish, I had to wait a bit more while he walked over and talked to his coach. Then he walked over to the net where I was. I took off my glove and pointed ^over^ the net. He lobbed the ball and I grabbed my 3rd baseball barehanded.
The Orioles started hitting and security started to kick people out. Only about 20 fans left and there were still around 150 fans in the outfield. But I’d say that probably only 15 were standing. To be honest, I don’t blame them. The Orioles were BARELY hitting any balls into the seats. It was so boring that *I* even sat down for a bit. But still I thought that a bit more people would be standing. They were eating food and not paying attention; when the occasional home run was hit it was one section to my right, which was blocked by a bunch of people sitting down. But then two consecutive balls were hit off the left-center wall and I had to avoid the sitting people to get there.
Felix Pie retrieved one ball while Nolan Reimold went for the other. I had to say something to Nolan to make me stand out from the other people who were asking…
“Nolan, could I have that ball?” Nope, that won’t work. Oh, wait!
“Come on, I saw you at the Futures’ Game in Oh-Six!” (I did.)
That worked because he picked me out of the crowd and threw me my 4th ball, and below you can see both balls being thrown.
Another two balls were hit off the State Farm sign closest to the bullpen, the one blocked a bit by the glass.
Rick Kranitz was there with Brad Bergesen. They split up to each get a ball. I focused on Rick Kranitz because Brad had been not listening to people in the stands (I considered saying: “How about a ball for a fellow September Twenty-Fifther?”) I said Rick’s name repeatedly as he went for the ball. It worked because he threw me my 5th ball of the day.
A bit following that BP ended. But I saw one of the players who tossed me a ball earlier start to sign at the foul line: Jason Berken.
I ran over there through the seating bowl and got there just as he finished, but I didn’t have the baseballs out yet. He started to walk away, but another, already-prepared kid appeared and he signed for him. That gave me some time to get them out, so I was able to get two autographs for my 1st autograph of the day.
I made my way over to the dugout and ended up staying there. After the first inning I went up to the second to last row in the section I was in when an elder man approached me.
“I’m leaving now, and you could have my tickets. There right down there,” he said and handed me two tickets while pointing to a spot about 4 rows back from the partition. That was an incredibly nice gesture considering that he was probably a Yankee fan and I was decked out in Orange.
Despite the great gift from the man I managed to get nothing even though I went to the first row every half-inning. But one inning I went to get sushi, and because of the INCREDIBLY slow service I missed a full inning. Guess what happened? The third-out ball was tossed over the partition, but Andrew (Zack’s client) got it. I tried the same thing for the make-up A’s game.

7/18/09 Yankees vs. Tigers
It’s a good sight to see your home stadium, a major league ballpark, for the first time in 12 days. It’s not a good sight to see nothing happening on the field.
That’s what happened when I got there. I had to wait 30 minutes for just two people, Jose Molina and Tony Pena, to play catch, and they kept the ball. BP Started at about 11:05, 25 minutes late. I started off in Left Field for the first two rounds during which a ballboy tossed me a ball, which was ripped out of my glove. Then two home runs landed in the bullpen. I asked an usher who retrieved the first ball for it, but he handed it to a girl. I asked him for the other ball which was hidden by the benches for the players to sit on. He walked over to the ball,
picked it up, inspected the commemorative logo, and flipped it to me, my 1st ball.
It wasn’t a regular baseball. It wasn’t related to the Mets or the Yankees. It was a type of ball used by a Major League Team in the 2009 season for regular season games. What ball was it?
If you guessed a Metrodome baseball, you are correct!
The Yankees had been in Minnesota just before the All-Star Break, and I already booked a trip for 3 games in August to go to the Metrodome.
But thanks to one particular a**hole usher in the right field bullpen I didn’t get anything for the rest of Yankees BP.
I had to go back into Left Field because they kicked people out, so I took a spot near the foul pole,
and asked Tigers Pitcher Brandon Lyon for his ball when he was done throwing.
(Ignore the missing fragment in the ‘N’)
It took a while for him to be close to finishing up, so while I was waiting there I saw a fly ball flow right in my direction. It flew over me and bounced off a lady’s face, breaking her glasses. Edwin Jackson came over there to see what happened and he ended up staying there to shag baseballs. He tossed one ball to a little boy, but then he tossed me the next ball he got, my 2nd ball.
Then I hit a dry spell. There were no more baseballs to be snagged with the crowd of 46,423 largely arriving early to get a ring from ring day. I was able to get Bobby Seay’s autograph for my 1st autograph of the day and my 2000th MLB Autograph of my LIFE. Not a very interesting 2000th autograph, but I’ll take any autograph I could get. I was in the outfield and I saw him signing on the foul line, so I ran over there and got him to sign.
BP ended and there were 3 baseballs in the bullpen. The usher from before picked up one, then two, but he left the third there! I had to get that ball. The first Tiger that entered the bullpen was bullpen catcher Scott Pickens, but he did his best Ronnie Deck impression and ignored me. The next Tiger in was pitching coach Rick Knapp. I got him to hand me the aforementioned baseball, my 3rd ball.
It was a ’09 Yankees Commemorative Baseball, as was the previous ball I got from Edwin.
I didn’t leave that area just yet because a bullpen coach also existed. After Verlander finished, the coach didn’t give me a ball. But Gerald Laird was leaving, and he took a ball from his pocket and flipped randomly into the bullpen where it settled against the back wall. The coach, Jeff Jones, walked over to the ball and flipped it me my 4th baseball, a regular baseball.
4 balls is low for me, so I wanted another ball to make my average not drop as much as it would with only 4 baseballs.
I did that by going to the Yankees bullpen in the 6th. I asked Mike Harkey for the warm-up ball when they were finished. He nodded, but I ended up waiting for a bit.
Finally in the 8th inning he took a ball and threw me and on-target overhand throw for my 5th ball of the day, and 4th bullpen ball of the day.
Tomorrow I will be inside a stadium 4 hours before the game starts, but I expect only 3 baseballs.

7/4/09 Yankees vs. Blue Jays
The Fourth of July. It will be crowded. It will have more people than 7/3/09. Guess how many people were there on the Third?
46,308 people.
How many more until Opening Day’s attendance is in reach?
Well like last time someone was running in the outfield. That someone wasn’t as good as Felix Hernandez. He was Ricky Romero.
But I wasn’t sure what his name was so I just held up my pen and he walked over and signed my 1st autograph
of the day……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
That’s 125 periods, one for every minute of BP I was shoutout for.
But I *was* on the big screen.
But still, I was shutout for ALL of Yankees BP, and well into the Blue Jays BP Somehow the ushers in left field were nice enough to let me stay there for the Mariners BP. One usher who didn’t know me checked my ticket while I was in section 133 or so (I belonged in 130) and he said I was O.K! Even the “evil usher” didn’t harass me! He walked up to me and said:
“Was’ up man, you O.K?”
Amazing!
But I was still shutout for a while because there was a HUGE crowd there. I looked at the time:
12:01
No ball yet.
That ball was caught right in front of my glove (red shirt, under state farm sign.)
By then I knew my streak was going to end, even though the Blue Jays were pelting the seats with Home Runs. Pretty soon one was hit deep. It was going near a State Farm sign, about 8 rows back. And then it landed; it hit off a mom and bounced into my row. I reached down into my row and grabbed my 1st ball.
“Give it to the kid,” a fellow ballhawk “Tony” said.
I looked over at the kid, a sobbing 4 year old girl with a glove. I couldn’t say no, so I handed the ball over to her. But her mom made me take it back.
“It’s you ball, you caught it.” But don’t feel too bad for the girl, she was injured, and B.J. Ryan saw the incident and gave her a ball.
And a cool thing about that ball? It has not one, but two faint bat prints on it. Take a look:
All I can make out is the letters “ENUH”. Any idea on what that could stand for?
Now I know that THAT is the ‘T’ from ‘TPX’, which is on some bats.
So then soon after I convinced Scott Richmond to toss me my 2nd ball. I HAD to engage him in conversation to get the ball.
Me: How about a ball for a Jays fan?
Scott: You’re not a Blue Jays fan. (I think he was eyeing my Yankees wristband)
Me: Look, I got a Jays hat and a Canada shirt.
So then he wheeled around and threw me the ball unexpectedly.
Home runs were being hit left and right. The balls being fielded either went to B.J. Ryan or Scott Downs,
who were tossing them to people many rows back, sometimes a couple decks up. When Scott fielded a ball I went baaaaaaack, but he threw the ball right where I was originally standing.
But Shawn Camp fielded the occasional ball also. So when he got one ball, I asked him, he tossed it, but it hit off my glove and plopped on the track. (Earlier a ball was caught RIGHT in front of my glove.)
“You’re killin’ me man!” Shawn said. He walked over and was about to hand it to the wrong kid, but then he looked over and saw me and handed me my 3rd ball.
Now that was it for BP. But since ALL the ushers had no problem with me sitting there for Batting Practice, I decided to sit there for the game. But I only sat there for the first 3 innings of the game.
And the last 3 innings also. But let’s not cut to that just yet.
When Brian Bruney started warming up I moved over to the Yankees bullpen in the Bleachers in hopes of improving my tally for the day. Pretty soon a fly ball was hit, and I ran down as soon as it was hit, unlike most people who wait until the out is made. Well it paid off because apparently Brian had already finished warming up and Mike Harkey was waiting to give the ball to someone. That someone would be the first person there (me) so I got my 4th ball.
And it was a long game also. I sat in the outfield from the ninth inning and on for one purpose: the Bullpen Line-Up Card.
Finally at the end of the long game I went over to the bullpen. I asked one random coach in there for the line-up card. But he tossed me a ball, which was errant.
But then Bruce Walton came out. I pointed to and asked him for the line-up card. He walked over, took it off, and handed it to me. Yes!

5/2/09 Yankees vs. Angels
UGH. I haven’t blogged for a while, but I’ll tell you at the end of this entry to save it for only the people who wan’t to hear my rant. So back to the game entry.
Our trip to the stadium starts off with the Grand Concourse being blocked off.
Not only that but all the side streets were blocked off also. Long story short, we took the Deagan and ended up taking a familiar trip to the New Yankee Stadium. We walk past these old things, which will soon turn into this:
When we get there, another fabulous thing happens. We have tickets for the wrong day! It wouldn’t work, but I was able to use our Main tickets to get inside while my dad had a helpful experience with the ticket office and all 4 of us got in. When I get inside, there is an Angel running and A.J. and Joba throwing on opposite sides. What do I do?
After stubbornly staying put for an Angel trainer (read on,) I go over to the Yankees bullpen. There are some people there already so what I do to stand out is I go to corner of the open air food area above the black. This was my view:
After being denied by Bruney and Joba, I call out to Mike Harkey for a ball. He tosses one to me, but it falls short.
“One more!”
Well, luckily he gives me another attempt , but that one falls inexcusably short.
“Jump!” Mike says.
I ask a bleacher usher if I can go down, and he lets me. I get Mike’s attention to show that I am done closer, but he says:
“There ya go.”
Dave Eiland is throwing with Brian Bruney, and when he’s done, he points at me with his glove. I get ready, but he tosses THAT ball short and it hits a sign! UGH. (Reminiscing of that day in Camden Yards). Wow.
Luckily, since it was his fault, he gets another and tosses me that ball, my 1st ball to end my streak of missed catches.
If you can’t see, Dave Eiland is just off screen on the right, and the ball on the ground is the one I got.
Nothing else happens until less than half the Angels throw. When I get there, the mystery guy from before (trainer) is throwing.
Note: I still think he is a player.
Well when he is done he tosses me my 2nd ball today and my 55th on the season.
Who is he?!
Then two of the Angels, each with baseballs, finish throwing and stand right next to each other. I know one of them is Rafael Rodriguez, so I ask him for a ball.
Rafael is on the left.
But the guy next to him tosses me a ball, my 3rd ball. It turns out, after looking at team photos, that it is Jose Arrendedo.
Now just to show you why you need the opposing team’s gear, a kid next to me with a pinstripe jersey ask the guy (trainer) who gave me my 2nd ball for a ball. The guy look at the kid, then points to me and says: “Angels!”
Now, while he is walking in I ask Rafael Rodriguez for his autograph. He gladly comes over and signs two for my 1st autograph today.
And then a bit later I ask an unknown player to sign, and he walks over to sign two for my 2nd autograph so far today. Turns out I got both Rodriguez’s (Fernando and Rafael).
All the Angels have disappeared, but Jered Weaver comes out to throw. I position myself in the corner spot and when he finishes, he tosses me a ball for my 4th ball today from far away.
Jered is on the right, and Spier is on the left.
Since the Yankees are still hitting in BP, I go over to fair territory. I stay there for a couple minutes,
before an usher asks to see my ticket. I say over a couple sections and move over two sections. The reason I am so clsoe to the wall is that I don’t want to be noticed by people, but he came over to me.
One usher I know comes up behind me taps my shoulder and says:
“Now I know you’re not supposed to be here.”
“Well it’s O.K. I’m not causing any trouble, right?”
He laughs and walks away, but then the evil usher comes a couple minutes later and asks to see my ticket. I say “over in 130,” so he kicks me over there. Turns out the usher was trying to convince the evil one I am not bad.
By about 1 hour and 20 minutes before game time, Vlad, Kelvim, and the Mystery guy come out. Kelvim throws with someone, while the other 2 run, (still think he’s a player).
Orlando Mercado is the guy throwing with Kelvim, so when they finish, Orlando gives Kelvim 3 balls. He tosses on up to the main level and then with me, standing in the second row, holding my hat, Kelvim tosses me my 5th ball over the first row.
The Yankees finish B.P. with very little time between now and the 1st pitch, so there is no Angels B.P. When I go to the corner spot, an usher asks me:
“So you’re coming Monday and Tuesday with a Red Sox’s cap?”
“No, I’m coming Tuesday…with a Red Sox cap.”
A cop earlier also noticed me changing hats, but no one seems to have a problem with it.
Brian Fuentes, who is one autograph I want, walks out to the bullpen. I ask him to sign, and he does, gladly walking over and signing two baseballs for my 3rd autograph today. He starts to chat with people and I think:
“Isn’t he the stuck up closer? No wait, that’s K-Rod!”
Like the A’s on 4/21, Orlando Mercado and Mike Napoli throw. When they finish I let out an “Orlando!” He turns around, sees me, and tosses the ball towards me. It is short, but I lean over and barely get it on the webbing of my glove for my 6th ball.
That is how far away the ball was thrown to me from.
Game Time!
Here’s a short summary of during the game:
2nd-3rd: Sit near Legends for foul balls.
4 ½ th- 7th: Work my way to Delta Sky Club seats.
7th-8th: Try for foul balls, none.
Perfect right? Well, there wall only one foul ball near me, but I get seats there for the whole game next time, I am getting a ball.
8 ½ th-9th: Ask people for stubs.
Now for the ticket stub. I immediately go to an usher. He looks at the ticket and says:
“Someone gave you this ticket stub, didn’t they?”
Confused and honest I said “Yes.”
“I can’t let you down.”
After disguising myself I go to the usher at the staircase over and he waves me down. HAHA! That that bad usher #2!
But sadly, I get nothing from the dugouts.
I am afraid of the outfield. I might get too noticed, so I have to play right field now.

I almost forgot about the virus rant. So what happened was that my computer suddenly was new. Like it was a “Temporary User Profile” and McAfee wanted to know if I wanted to accept a registry change. So I blocked the change and called my dad. Originally, all of my documents and pictures were gone, POOF! Then I realized it deleted all of the saved passwords. So we sent it away, and it turns out that it was indeed a virus and that the virus was a: “secret administrative account and that had we allowed the registry change it would’ve made the computer seem like nothing happened, but all of the stuff I do, all of the information I get would be sent to a master computer which sorts through everything.” Luckily my computer didn’t have any financial or special information so it won’t do any harm. I am getting my computer back on Monday so I needed to create a new password because I was falling behind on my blogging so I am using my parents computer. I hate viruses. I hate the person who created that virus. Anybody who creates a virus and sends it to people is a complete a-hole. Ugh, viruses suck.
