I caught my first ball at Camden Yards, hit by Right Fielder Kevin
Kiermeier of the Tampa Bay Rays on 6-27-14. It was a make-up game that
was originally rained out.
I didn't have to wait long since it happened in the 1st half of the
1st inning with only 1 out. Kevin went on to have a great game and
unfortunately the Os lost.
I held my DSLR with it's 300mm zoom lens in my right hand and jumped a
bit to outreach the guy next to me and caught it with my left hand. It
had bounced high from a different section right to me with a good deal
of spin on it but I held on to the ball with no problem.
I remember
thinking the night before that if I got a chance for a ball I would use
my hat to catch it but when it happened I instinctively used my hand
without once thinking about my hat! :)
