For me, it’s catching an opposing team’s HR and chucking it back on the field
There’s about a 1/2000 chance of catching an opposing team’s home run. Not sure I would consider that a small thing.
If you went to every game for your team, including away games, for 11 seasons, statistically it would happen only once to accomplish this feat.

Have you ever heard of Zack Hample?

Hample caught his 6,000th baseball in 2012.[7] By 2022, he claimed to have caught 12,000 balls.[11] He developed a device for catching balls at stadiums made out of a baseball glove, rubber band and pen.
quote:
In 2008, Hample caught the last Mets homerun hit at Shea Stadium. On April 18, 2013, Hample caught two home run balls during a game at Yankee Stadium, including the first career homer of shortstop Didi Gregorius.[18][19][20] He also caught the first career home runs of Mike Trout and Mike Nickeas,[21] and Barry Bonds' 724th home run.[22]
In June 2015, Hample caught Alex Rodriguez's 3,000th career hit, which was a home run.

I’d imagine that can change a lot based on your seats, the stadium and how little you care about being a jerk?

If someone made a thread about catching an opposing team HR and throwing it back, no one would give a shite. I’d consider that a “small thing”
I see it happen at just about every game I go to.
