Took my nephew (as a belated birthday present) and dad to Saturday's Cards/Cubs game. During the sixth inning, the usher in our section whistled at Jose Oquendo, who quickly produced a ball from the Cards' dugout for my nephew. Absolutely made his and my weekend. I recorded the entire exchange. Too bad the Cardinals lost, but it still was one of the best nights of his life.

My mom and newphew are flying in next Wednesday and we have seats for that nights game on the 3rd base dugout. I haven't told him about it yet as I want him to be surprised.

That's where we were. Seriously, Jerry will hook it up. He helped 3-4 kids get a ball that way.

Jerry works at Miller Park too, sweet.

Hatchet not very good, it is more about the object of gettting the fuck out of the way.

This reminded me of something: I was at a work outing in center field at a Schaumburg Flyers game about 10 years ago. A home run was hit, and it went over a fence behind the stadium. I climbed the short fence and grabbed the ball. One of the teenage ushers took the ball away from me for going over the fence. There were about 1,000 people in that stadium.....and later the team went under. Not too hard to tell why.

I'm glad to hear there is one decent human among Cub ushers.

That group is generally a geriatric mafia.

Yeah, but they are easy to get around.

Literally if they turn their old bodies one way, you have like 15 full seconds before they can turn back around.
