I was there too!

I "almost" caught Ausmus's homerun off the back wall... the wife and I were in the Crawford boxes in the last row and the hit just above us and landed 4 rows in front of us! It was sweet.

I said yes, although the ball was never in play. But maybe 12 or 15 years ago, in the Dome, Doug Drabek started warming up in the bottom of the eighth inning right in front of our seats. He never went in, but when the last out was made in the ninth to end the game, I went to the fence and asked him for the basaeball. He tossed it to me and I caught it single handed. It was awesome.

Then a couple years ago at Minute Maid, I had a foul ball come close, but just wound up with a lap full of beer as everybody scrambled for the ball.
