Posted on June 24, 2011 at 4:19amI was sitting in a similar location decades ago at a Reds game in Cincy. I was looking away from home plate talking when I heard a thunk in the next section toward home plate. I spun around to see a couple of kids chasing after a foul ball. I kept my eye on the batters from that point on.
