It was a small cactus, but it hurt like hell, and while I was pulling the needles out of my shoes and socks, I chased down a home run ball . . . barefoot.
Yup, just another day at Spring Training, this time at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, Arizona. I learned the secret spots to snag baseballs behind the practice fields, had a conversation with Ian Desmond, dropped by an amateur tryout, got autographs from two superstar players, saw Shohei Ohtani again, and snagged TWO home run balls during the actual game.
This video was filmed on February 27, 2018. Thanks for watching!
