I wrote a post today with a video fo the craziest baseball fan you'll ever meet. This random guy has caught over 3,000 foul balls in his lifetime. He's gotten a ball in every one of his last 450 games.

Check out my post and then leave a comment about your favorite foul ball story. I'm trying to hear the best stories from Twins fans!
