This is only mildly on-topic to the annual off-topic baseball thread, and vastly off-topic to the existing current topic of choice: the playoffs.
I went to the Jays' last home game of the year, just to get my fix of some baseball. I hadn't been to a game for quite some time, so I looked forward to it. We get to our seats, and instead of sitting in seats 1 & 2, she sits in 2, and I sit in seat 3. IOW, two seats removed from where I was supposed to sit. (Yes, the seat was empty when I got there.
)
As I was leaving my home, I did think about bringing my glove. Can't hurt, right? But I didn't.
Sure enough, in the 5th inning, a foul ball comes our direction. In fact, I picked my seats because their location is a popular destination for foul balls.
Well, it quickly became apparant that the ball was coming very close to us. The guy that ended up getting the ball was one row up, and the first seat to my left, across the aisle between our sections. IOW, if I was sitting in the seat that I paid for, I would have been about 3 feet from this guy.
I'm
quite certain that I would have snagged this foul ball, especially if I had my glove.
Yeah, I kinda upset that I didn't get this ball. It woulda been a bit of a bragging story to say that I picked the seats to get a foul ball, only to follow up on that
Jake Taylor-like prediction.
I still don't know what the lesson here is, though.
