This is pretty f'd

From the Chron today:

"John Bowker might have to put stuffed animals in his trophy case. The man who caught his first big-league homer in San Francisco refused to trade it back. Same with the woman who caught Bowker's first career grand slam Saturday. She told a Nationals official she would have to talk to her lawyer first. ... Randy Winn has hit safely in 31 of his last 36 games."

That's pretty dick. I can understand wanting something more than a bat, like maybe a jersey, but come on. And talking to your lawyer first? Thas fuxored.

Bullshit

It’s not like it’s a BLB home run ball that’s gonna be worth $$$$. That’s fucked up.

My friend caught Holm’s first home run ball. They got a signed bat and helmet. She told me Holm was pretty excited because he was going to give it to his mom.

She told a Nationals official she would have to talk to her lawyer first

Yeah, I lived in DC for 6 years (see username)

And I somehow doubt very highly that anyone who bothered to haul their ass to RFK would pull this bullsh*t.

That makes meh madz!

Did

Denker get his 1st HR ball back? I sure hope so. Seriously, not giving back the first HR ball hit by someone, even if you’ve never caught a batted/foul ball in your life, is a tremendously dickish move. And as for the woman who has to contact her lawyer first, if I were Bud Selig and read that quote, I’d instantly move the team back to Montreal.

Come on guys, cut her some slack. You act like you’ve never had to talk to your lawyer about anything.

Just this morning I had to talk to my lawyer about the possibility of eating bacon. Last night, I had to talk to my lawyer about what time I should go to bed and, following, what time I should actually fall asleep after having gone to bed. Tomorrow I have to talk to my lawyer about whether or not I should ditch Wario for Diddy Kong as I go forward in Mario Kart Wii, even though I don’t really want to. And sometime before I post this comment, I need to make sure that I talk to my lawyer about whether or not I should post it.

She’s just being reasonable. Just like me.

That seems reasonable...

I’m thinking it would be a good idea for my lawyer to speak
with your lawyer.

I hope the fan who caught the ball tells her it’s worth about
$20.00 and then hands her a bill for $350.00 for his/her
services.

I hope the fan who caught the ball’s LAWYER tells her …

Not sure why I even bother with the Preview button. It should
say Pre-typo.

I don’t know… I’ll have to talk to my lawyer about that….

Obviously these are savvy judges of baseball talent.

They’ve identified our boy Bowker as a future Hall of Famer and wanna get in on the ground floor of the investment.

Jeez what an axewound.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.
