5/29/09 @ Miller Park

BALL #2 – David Weathers toss-up during BP. 
ONLY after I yelled, “Roll Tide!” (He’s a huge Alabama Crimson Tide fan)

+       CRIMSON TIDE         =        BASEBALL

BALL #3 – Aaron Harang tossup during BP.

My favorite Redlegs player.

BALL #4 – Jonny Gomes BP homer on bounce.
BALL #5 – Jonny Gomes BP homer on fly (given to Ethan – see below).

BALL #6 – glove trick out of Brewers pen near end of Reds portion of BP (given to nearby kid).

So, do you remember this little dude…??
…that’s Ethan.  He stopped by to say “hi” and was given BALL #5 (Gomes BP homer).

Here’s a few random pics of a sasquatch sighting at Miller Park…
…in the picture above, the hairy mammal can be seen imitating some sort of “safe” sign…

…and below…
…some sort of menacing mating stance…

…finally…
…they’ve gone and multiplied AND they drink beer.  Whowouldathunkit??  No harm-they’re just having a good time.

Someone get that man a brassiere.

People say ballhawking is weird?  Wow.

Finals…
…6 total baseballs (4 are shown – 2 were given away to kids).
