Description: Of all the things to get pissed off at . . . seriously?! This was a rough day in the Bronx, so you can understand why the fans were so riled up. The New York Yankees were battling for a playoff spot in the 2nd-to-last game of the season, and the Tampa Bay Rays demolished them. Brandon Lowe hit three home runs as his team cruised to a 12-2 win, but aside from all of THAT, I had a really fun day with a young fan named James. We got autographs and milkshakes, and we also combined to snag three baseballs at the 3rd base dugout. Can anyone help us identify the first guy who tossed one? (It's at 1:22 in the video.) Ball No. 2 came from a random employee -- that's the one that I dropped (because of the sun, OKAYYY?), and yes, I'm still embarrassed. The final ball was thrown by Rays 3rd base coach Rodney Linares, and James deserves credit for being generous. Right after I caught it, I noticed a kid right behind me, so I asked James if we could give him that ball, and he said yes. (I wish I'd been even half as generous at that age.)

Major League Baseball needs more guys like that. Thanks also to Bill Bruning for filming this video and to Chris Bruning for editing. The game, BTW, took place on October 2, 2021. Thanks for watching!
