Have you ever caught a baseball (home run or foul ball) at a Major League Baseball game? I haven't but always thought it would be cool.

Back in like 1996 I think it was I was down by the bullpen in St.Louis and Chan Ho Park was warming up for the Dodgers and he threw the ball up in the crowd. Amazingly it got by everyone and landed in my hand. I actually got a little scraped up because I was only 11 and it was a bunch of grown men trying to catch it.

No. The closest I got was during a game when I was like 7 or something. My dad had a good shot at catching it, but he was too busy pointing out to me how "cool" an airplane passing overhead looked. I wanted to kill him.
I was 12 or so rows off Barry Bonds' home run ball, though.
I hate when they give the ball to the little kids. Give them to someone who'll appreciate it, not slobber all over it.

I have twice. Once I got a homerun ball off of Bruce Benedict when I was a kid. I still have that.
A few years ago I got a foul ball off of Pujols. ANd yes, I gave it to a 10 year old kid beside me, who was trying to get it, and and he was very surprised, grateful, and excited. I don't see the harm, because it meant nothing to me.

I caught a few from minor league baseball. I go to Pawsoxs (Boston's minor team) games all the time.

Not at a MLB game but at a AAA game.

I caught 7 at Minor league games and I caught a foul ball by Gary sheffield this year when I went to the tigers game I was buying a hot dog at the time and I was waiting in line and it just bounced away from me and another adult went for it but I got it Gave it to my kid told him to keep it and show his kids. And I caught 7 minor league balls when I was a kid.
