    My baseball highlight of the decade was almost getting whacked with a bat at a AA game.
    The guy hit a single I think and on the follow through the bat slipped out of his hands and went flying straight at me. I quickly got up and ran for cover when I thought it was coming my way and it landed 5-10 seats down from me. I tried to get it but Stadium security said I couldn’t have it.

I know you would NEVER sell it. As you know im sure his rookie card sold for record $5.3 million! That ball I can only imagine. Just blown away! Its only right he got it back and the experience alone would be amazing! You can always say you were the guy that caught that ball. I know.about Gabby.
