A riotous batting practice ensued
It’s game 3 of the wild card series between the Cubs and Padres.
Ball hawks everywhere, reaching and squirming for baseballs.
Catch it on a fly and it is legitimate.
My posse caught four balls and how lucky they were…
Twisting and turning,..
Ballhawks bodies twist, turn and squirm for a ball.
A skill and a chance to catch a historic ball of miraculous value.
Catching three balls in batting practice, an unmitigated longshot.
I would venture to say that it was a rounding off at 100 odds.
The stories told are of value and the snagging of three baseballs at practice is unheard of.
It’s true ambiance and the picturesque notion of ballhawks snagging baseballs is priceless.
A story to last a lifetime and it happened in my beloved right field Wrigley Bleachers.
A true baseball aficionado had his baseball birthright held that day.
Their journey to the vendors was encapsulated by guarding his baseballs for dear life.
