Interesting that most of them gave up the balls happily and were rewarded with some cool gifts in return.


quote:

"I was thinking this is the best thing that's ever happened to me," Jarecki said. "I had to catch it. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

He did so on the fly, a move that made his friends and teammates at Deerfield High School proud. He's a first baseman and a pitcher there, and he had a choice of games to attend with his father, Don, a season-ticket holder. Jarecki picked this one. The Cubs' ace, Jake Arrieta, was starting the game, and he figured he might see history. Little did he know he was a part of it.

I'd make a crack, but obviously this is an exciting time for Cubs fans.

I remember our '04 team being able to pull off those kind of numbers. Shoot, the '11 series where Pujols hit 3 in game 3. Sigh.

I'm holding out hope I win the tickets @Cubs are giving away. Already got a flight on hold just in case.

Anyone shocked that 6 men ended up with the balls and no women?

What about gender equality

You ever seen a woman playing outfield for a major league team?
