A 15-year-old Yankees fan drove six hours from North Carolina to see his team play the Atlanta Braves. He had quite the lucky day. Randy Kearns caught a home run ball with his Yankees’ hat, which was Alex Rodriguez’ 23rd career grand slam that tied him with Lou Gehrig for the most all-time. He was also kind enough to return the ball to Alex Rodriguez, who gave him an autographed bat, jersey and a ball.

“I didn’t know how big of a deal it was,” Kearns said. “I thought, ‘It would be cool to give it back to him.’”

I once almost caught a foul ball hit by Manny Ramirez when I was walking back from the bathroom at Comiskey Park and gladly would have exchanged it for an autographed hand towel.
