Foul Ball Story:
Darryl from Campbell, CA writes
I've caught 4 foul balls, but the to most memorable were #1 the ball i caught off Carlton Fisk in 1987 at the Oakland coliseum. The A's were playing the white sox. Fisk hit a 2/2 pitch off the 1st base side. as the ball was in the air it was if I was magnetized and the ball was destined to come to me. The crowd went silent and still and as if in slow motion the ball went into my mit just like you see in the movies. At that point i heard the crowd again and my heart started pumping with excitement. At the time i was 25 and had wanted a foul ball since my first game at the age of 7.
The other and most memorable to date happened last Sunday at PacBell park except this was my sons turn. For all you Dads out there it brought a tear to my eye. During batting practice Barry Larkin hit a ball into the right field corner. My son was hanging over the fence when he turned around and said Dad look what i got. It was better than catching one myself. He is a baseball fanatic, a phenomenally natural player and you should have seen the look on his face-you should have seen the look on my face. His first ball at the age of 7-hey is there a correlation here somewhere. Anyway, we got autographs, ran the bases after the game and waved to the Reds players and wives as they drove away to the airport in the team buses after the game. An all round memorable day for a son and dad. Ain't baseball grand!!!!

I have to say that my favorite ballbark is still Yankee Stadium. There is so much history there with the monuments and all the phenomenal players that have played there.
I have been to 9 different major league parks and none yet compare to the ballpark in the Bronx for me.
The first time I went there in 1968 I remember how excited I was. I was 8 years old and my grandparents were taking me to bat day and I got to see Mickey Mantle play. Wow, what a day. the first thing I noticed when I walked up the tunnel to the field that everything was in COLOR! I had always watched the games on my B&W TV and it didn't dawn on me until I got there just how much better it looked in person. I was only a little guy, but I will never forget that day. I did get to visit Miller Park this year and thought it was a great new ballpark. I am friends with one of the Brewer players and got a tour of the locker room and all of their facilities after the game. Their locker room is the nicest that I have ever seen. The decor and furnishings look more like a living room than a locker room. They certainly spared no expense.
Well, thanks for the opportunity to sign up for this month's contest. Your site is awesome and helps capture how many of us feel about the game and collecting autographs of some of our favorite players. Keep up the great work, Steve

In your story about seeing Miller Park for the first time, you talked about walking through the V.A. Hospital. My grandfather, a WWII veteran, died in 1986 and was buried in the cemetery. Being a Brewer fan all his life, It could not have worked out any better, when I found his grave. Once I turned around, there was Miller Park. Not completed, but still an awesome sight. Thanks for letting me share.

My favorite active player is without question Ken Caminiti. Injuries and off season troubles have led to his decline in production, but one thing remains a constant: his intensity, grit, and passion for the game. Cammy doesn't let a game go by where he doesn't dirty his uniform. His intensity is comparable to Pete rose's and he is greatly appreciated and respected by all of his peers and coaches. Even if he never put up MVP numbers and performances like he did about 3-7 years ago, he would still be my favorite active player because he plays hard and he plays to win!

I have several active favorite players. But if I had to choose one, I guess it would be Roger Clemens. Wait. No I AM NOT A YANKEES FAN. I am however a Red Sox fan. I enjoyed watching Roger pitch throughout his career and his stats speak for themselves. His dedication to the game, in not only ability, but in preparation, are outstanding. I have nothing signed by Roger nor will I ever probably have the opportunity to get anything signed by him. I am hoping he wins the Cy again this year. But I am hoping that the Yankees do not win the World Series. Quite a few years ago I went to a Double Header between the Indians and Red Sox in Cleveland. Matt Young pitched the first game and pitched 9 innings without giving up a hit. BUT LOST. Roger pitched the 2nd game and threw a 1 hitter. HE WON. The Indians for both games came away with only 1 hit and a split. It was probably the best pitching performance I have ever seen while attending a game at the stadium.
Frank Writes:
I WISH I COULD PIN POINT ONE PLAYER BUT I CAN'T, BUT IF I HAD TO CHOOSE I WOULD SAY WITHOUT A DOUBT JASON GIAMBI, OAKLAND A'S. HE IS A WINNER AND A LEADER ON THE TEAM AS EVIDENT OF HIS NUMBERS THE LAST THREE YEARS. I ALSO ENJOY A PITCHER BY THE NAME OF CURT SCHILLING IN ARIZONA. FOR THE SAKE OF CONVERSATION MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE PLAYER WILL ALWAYS BE WILLIE MC'COVEY, I WAS TEN YEARS OLD WHEN I SAW MY FIRST EVER MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL GAME AND WILLIE HIT TWO HOMERS AT CANDLESTICK PARK THAT DAY AGAINST THE BUMS (LOS ANGELES DODGERS), AS YOU CAN SEE I AM A SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS FAN HAVING GROWN UP IN MARYSVILLE WHICH IS ABOUT 40 MILES NORTH OF SACRAMENTO, WHO NOW LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. I WILL ALWAYS BE A GIANTS FAN EITHER WIN OR LOSE! I KNOW YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT YOUR TEAM THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS. I REMEMBER BACK IN THE MID SEVENTIES WHEN SACRAMENTO WAS THE TRIPLE A BALL CLUB FOR THE BREWERS KNOWN AS THE SACRAMENTO SOLONS, THEY HAD SOME GREAT PLAYERS AT THE TIME WHO BECAME VERY GOOD MAJOR LEAGUE PLAYERS. SOME OF MY FAVORITES WERE GORMAN THOMAS, SIXTO LEZCANO, BILL TRAVERS, BILL CASTRO AND TOM HAUSMAN. AMAZING WHAT THEY COULD DO IN THAT SMALL BALLPARK WITH AN EXTREMELY SHORT FENCE AND EXTREMELY HIGH NETTING IN LEFT FIELD, IF I RECALL GORMAN THOMAS AND LOCAL KID BILL MC'NAULTY HIT 50 PLUS HOMERUNS THERE, IT WAS A LOT OF FUN FOR THE TWO YEAR THEY WERE THERE. THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE HOPE TO HERE FROM YOU SOON. TAKE CARE !!
