READ ME!Got any stories of your own? Which players have you met? Any nice guys? Crappy guys? Gotten any souvenir baseballs like these? How about bats, batting gloves, etc.? Ever stole home plate in the middle of a game? Been arrested for it? Slapped Dusty Baker with a dildo?\n\nSo the first ball was hit byBrian Barton, outfielder/lead off man for the 2008 St. Louis Cardinals, handed to me by Joel Pineiro, starting pitcher for the Cards, and signed by Adam Wainwright, World Series \'06 closer and now ace starting pitcher for the Cards. EXCELLENT guy. Joel\'s awesome for tossing me this ball, too. Alwaysbring a glove! Game: April 4, \'08, Cards vs Nationals in St. Louis.\n\nSecond ball was in Boston at Fenway Park, August 18th, \'07. Red Sox vs Angels, ground rule double off the bat of Gary Matthews, Jr. Red Sox bullpen staff member gave me the ball.\n\nGlove came from Bobby Bonilla in April 2001 against the Diamondbacks. Broke my foot immediately afterwards, going to my seat. Know how hardcore I am? I stayed to watch the game with a broken foot. Seriously.\n\nMy other balls were two Ray Lankfords BP homers and a Ken Griffey, Jr. BP homer. I actually dove and caught the Griffey ball barehanded. Toobad I can\'t swing a bat worth crap, I\'m actually an above average fielder.\n\nAnd yes, I shaved. Jury duty a week and a half ago. adam, ball, baseball, batting, bobby, bonilla, busch, cardinals, foul, glove, green, monster, red, souvenir, sox, stadium, wainwright
