Bobby Witt Jr. DRILLED my videographer with a GAME HOME RUN ball at Kauffman Stadium! 

AND GUESS WHO GRABBED IT?! This was truly the LUCKIEST home run ball of my life. It hit the top of the outfield wall and then ricocheted back into the seats where it smacked my videographer in the ribcage (yes, it left a mark), and then the ball rattled around in the walkway for a split-second before I got my hand on it. SO CRAZY.
In my opinion, Bobby Witt Jr. is a future Hall of Famer. He might only be 23 years old (at the time of this video being posted) with less than two full seasons in Major League Baseball, but I'm calling it now. The man will end up in Cooperstown, so the autographed ball that I got from him before the game is especially valuable -- and I'm giving it away! In order to be eligible to have a chance to win it, you need to do all these things:

I will pick a winner on Friday, September 15, 2023 and pin that person's comment. (Beware of scammers impersonating me and claiming that you've won. If your comment isn't pinned and/or someone else says you've won or are one of the finalists, it's a scam.) UPDATE: the winner is Irost15. Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest.

Thanks for watching and get ready for a monster video coming next from a Minor League Baseball game in Nebraska.
