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.
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
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 firstWelcome to Washington DC.
Adopted father of the AnVil / GIANTSPACE™ returns!
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!
Tentatively adopting Dan Ortmeier. And Boom Goes the Dynamite.
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.
Eagerly awaiting Crazy Crab Bobblehead Night on 7/18.
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.
My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.
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 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.
All-Father Watch: 1.19 ERA, 6 saves, 0.92 WHIP, 30 Ks in 30 1/3 IP
People Suck Nuts.
Talk to your lawyer? Fuck you bitch. I hope some kid steals that ball sandlot style.
Eugeniooooooo!!!!
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.
