Book reviews

1st comment!

I'll read them when I have time, I bet they're great!

Don't worry, you're definitely not the only bad sport here. I always have feelings like that when a ball isn't anywhere near me. I always hope nobody gets it if I can't. Just take the other day at Shea. Every time I didn't go down to the dugout, I hoped whoever caught the third out ball would roll it back to the mound instead of bringing it back and tossing it into the crowd. (I think this kind of behavior does make us selfish, but whatever.)

Well as long as the person who gets it is in another ball park than I'm at its okay, and if the person is deserving to get a milestone ball like that so they can get rich, know what I mean?

Well anyway I'm gonna see the Rockies 2morrow any help with them.

As for the Dodgers I only got a ball from Andre Either and just missed Nomar signing DAM!

Hey Zack-
Long time no talk. I've been really busy with school these days...Great job on all of your trips to the ballpark.

I found something interesting online today. A "Griffey Returns" baseball.

Check out the link!

Woohoo! The Oneonta Daily Star. Looks like you have a lot of writers pitching your book! Sorry, couldn't resist!

Did you see Texas reliever CJ Wilson's recap of being in the bullpen where the ball landed, trying to make sure it didn't bounce into the seats? http://cjwilson.mlblogs.com/my_weblog/

jack, i wanna read that whole review.

well, if you read the Cj Wilson link, it was about samy.

so is he a first ballot hall of famer?

i sya no. if mark wasn't then he wont be either. his numbers are good enough for first ballot, but the steriods, and corked bat incidents have tainted his numbers?

what does everyone else think?

Is anyone else going to tonight's Mets vs. A's game? It's a risky decision on my part being that it's a Friday night and it's Rollabana? night..

I'm going to Mets/A's game tomorrow. I have sweet field box seats about 20 rows up from the Mets on deck circle, so hopefully some foul balls come my way....

im goin to mets/a's on sunday. gat the tix free, or i wouldnt be goin. its paul loduca bobblehead day, TONS of kids. any tips on good throwers/signers from the a's? i hope piazza is there!

CUBS-
Congrats on your "first commenter" status, but you DO realize there's no prize, right?

GREG-

Good to know I'm not alone.

JIMMY-

I hear ya. Sorry you missed Nomar. For the best info on the Rockies, you should ask a fellow MLBlogger named Charlie who's got a whole blog about that team:

DODGERS STEVEN-

Man! What a cool ball! I love seeing stuff like that, but it also breaks my heart to know that it's out there, and that I'll probably never snag it.

SURFNUSA-

Oneonta, baby! Represent!

MARK-

I hadn't yet seen that post. Thanks for pointing it out. C.J. is the man. The more I hear about him and read his blog, the more I like him.

TSWECHTENBERG-

Yes, but do *I* want you to read it?

PUCK COLLECTOR-

Not a first ballot guy. I support the argument that Bonds would be a Hall of Famer without steroids, and that McGwire and Sosa probably wouldn't be.

JOHN-

I'm not going. Shea Stadium is not my friend right now.

PSU532-

I hate to say it, but most foul balls will probably be flying back well over your head. The closest seats are not the best for balls, unless you're right behind the dugout.

GJK2212-

That's going to be a tough game. Mark Kotsay gets my vote for "Nicest Guy on the A's."

No prize eh?

You responded to me first, didn't you :P

I hadn't thought of it that way.

i got the book, it's freakin' AWESOME!!!mwhaaaahaaaa!!!
