But funny story.
I told someone this story the other day.
The Astros used to do their training in Coco near where we live.
And so we used to go to some of the games and...
My brother caught a pop fly one time.
I probably shouldn't even tell this story, but I'm gonna, because my dad has passed away now.
But my brother caught a foul ball and he was all excited.
And he was probably about 11 or something, 12 years old.
And he's like showing his friends.
And then this like 15 year old girl comes and swipes it out of his hand.
Goes running away with the ball.
And my dad's got a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
And she comes running by.
My dad grabbed this girl by the hair.
took the ball out of her hand and gave it back to my brother.
That actually happened on national TV just recently too.
And the woman took it from the kid or whatever.
That's why I was telling this story because it was kind of different because my brother literally had possession of the ball for a long period of time.
It was his, you know?
And so my dad was like, yeah, whatever, give that thing back.
