do you have any funny baseball related stories?
so i went to yankee stadium by myself last may to see the yankees play the red sox. i had my jeter jersey shirt and yankees cap on during the flights back. on my 2nd flight from columbus ohio to st louis i flew with southwest where you have to pick you seats when you get in the plane. anyways, i chose a seat and some big guy says. " i dont think you should sit here..." i was like, "why not?" the man gets up and says "cause i'm a red sox fan." some man sat in between us and i was kinda freaked out that the red sox fan was going to murder me lol. it had to have been a sight seeing a red sox fan and a yankees fan seperated by a single person..

Yeah, I follow a local American Legion team and one year the manager said to an overweight umpire on a missed call, "I bet you wouldn't have missed it if it was a hamburger..."

The year is 1956. Bob Feller is pitching his last season for the Cleveland Indians. He is on the mound at Yankee Stadium facing the Yankees. Moose Skowron is at the plate. Feller rears back and throws three pieces of pure heat at the plate. Skowron never moves his bat and the ump calls him out on strikes. As Skowron leaves the batter's box he turns and says something to the ump. The ump replies and Skowron says something more as he heads for the dugout. Years later I found out what was said from Clete Boyer when he was a coach with the Oakland As: Skowron: Where was that last pitch? Ump: Just below the letters and in the zone. Skowron: It sounded kind of high.

When I was 12, I went to a Mariners vs Royals game in KC. We got there pretty early and the Royals were still taking batting practice. I got to my seat and set my jacket and glove down and took a quick trip to the bathroom. When I got back to my seat there was an older guy sitting in the seat directly behind me and he was holding a baseball. After I sat back down he taps me on the shoulder and we start talking: Him: "This your seat" Me: "yeah" Him: "while you were gone, George Brett was taking batting practice and hit this ball and it landed in your seat." Me: "no way" Him: "yep... and since you weren't sitting in your seat, I got it." This man preceded to tease me with the ball damn near the entire game. In the 7th inning a my dad called the stadium usher over and got the guy thrown out because he kept teasing me with the ball. at the end of the game the usher had me and my dad follow him over to the Royals dugout and he got George Brett to sign a ball for us. I got to hold that ball for the entire 90 minute drive home. Once we got home, my dad took the ball and I haven't touched it since. it's currently in a display case in my dad's house. so i didn't actually get either ball... but it was awesome to see that jerk getting escorted out of the stadium. and getting to shake George's hand.
