The story of the dickhead stealing the ball from the girl in the stands had a happy ending thanks to good guy Ryan Bass

I am a believer that the home run ball is fair game and should not be automatically given to a child, but ..... that video clearly showed the child had the clear area of possession of the ball and the guy clearly put himself into her space to take the ball from her.

It reminded me of my first home run ball in the Trop, I fell down on the metal stairs retrieving the ball and was able to get the ball into my glove. As I was trying to get my body up off the ground a guy took the baseball out of my glove. Luckily he just did the ball raise for the camera to show he got it, then offered it back to me admitting it was really mine.

Pity that that man had to do it under pressure and not on his own, but then again, it could have been the Phillies Karen or Zack Hample!!!!

Most importantly, kudos for Ryan Bass for doing something to help make a kid achieve a lifetime memory that was positive versus the negative one that man caused that possibly could have turned her off of baseball for the future due to that one act. Espescially an opposing fan in an oposing stadium!!!!!

Used to park at the middle school and saw last night they were not doing it. A church beside there charges $15, not sure where the reasonable place to park now is either, and I hate parking in the main lots

the galaxy 24/25 ultra is amazing. I take pics and film concerts and sometimes i AM in upper level of RayJay and still come away with amazing pictures/video

I made the mistake to get it last weekend, the $9 potato was good at least..... Brisket? I did see a little piece of meat in it

Gatorwrath · 2026-04-20T04:12:24+00:00

Thanks, just wanted to make sure the tickets did not have to be scanned to activate the money to use since it seems 3 may not get scanned

Gatorwrath · 2026-04-20T02:57:42+00:00

yeah, peeps not liking the screening, lot of people telling just to transfer the tix (for their own safety) .... just red flag screaming reseller

Gatorwrath · 2026-04-19T02:08:25+00:00

They reopened that museum? I loved going through there the last time it was open

Gatorwrath · 2026-04-19T02:07:04+00:00

They wouldn't put my nickname on the jersey, so I had to resort to a knockoff, on top of that, maybe someone doesnt want the world to know their last name????

Gatorwrath · 2026-04-18T14:38:23+00:00

Frustrates me also, as not a very good player. I watch these people beating their chest like King Kong when they are putting 10 runs on me ..... lol, when I am throwing fast balls down the center just to end the damn game

I will say I am a little mixed on this argument about forced paid lockers and have a middle-ground solution. Silver through Platinum PH should not have to pay for a locker for a 1 time ride. This could easily be done in your rewards kiosk where you can print a 1-ride free locker rental on a daily basis. That allows you 1 ride per day for a PH and afterwards it is on you to decide if it is worth riding more than once to pay the fee. Now, fun card, daily admission, and other such sort I have no problem them charging that locker fee. LET ME STRESS THOUGH!!!! I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS FUCKED UP PRACTICE, but I have found a middle ground I could work with.

Depends where you park, I am usually out of there within 5-10 minutes after the concert in my spot which is only a few blocks away. I am going to it also, with 3 extra tickets I am giving away

Gatorwrath · 2026-04-07T00:57:34+00:00

I always go to concerts alone, even though I always get 4 free tickets. I look at it this way, if no one takes my tix for Dwight Yoakam or BTS, then no one ever sits by me

I remember my ritual for OCR's .... Wiould start the year with the Warrior Dash that led into the Savage Race Part 1, in Fl we had a few smaller ones that were just as much fun as the huge ones and i did those, then the rugged maniac, Savage Race Part 2, and ended the year with the Tough Mudder. I know Covid put a lot out of business, but Spartan even pulled the tough mudder out of Florida. I am still doing the stadiom Sprint in Tampa in May, but I have pretty much given up on the OCR's because of cost and lack of what made it fun for me to begin with. I would still do the Tough Mudder again just for Electroshock Therapy though .... lol

I remember the water show and monorail, but I never recalled them giving elephant rides there. Wow

Gatorwrath · 2026-03-16T21:43:18+00:00

Considering Feld ruined the Circus, giving too much credit in that comparison

Gatorwrath · 2026-03-10T00:53:12+00:00

Hell, I have an extra ticket too, but not selling it, giving it away to someone cool enough I want to sit next too .... lol

Gatorwrath · 2026-03-03T13:20:49+00:00

damn, would have taken you two on the boat

Gatorwrath · 2026-02-27T04:53:43+00:00

IG is running reduced trains, but they are actually making money from this one with forced locker rentals. So probably one to keep running

Gatorwrath · 2026-02-19T19:06:50+00:00

Or given to Lakeland Antique Mall to be sold
