1. Holy Shit!
They're gonna have to start handing out batting helmets to the fans - and not as a one day promotional thing either.

3. The looks on their faces are funny.
Especially the guy in the red hat. I only say that because nobody was injured.

24. Weak division, but strong team!
Remember we were in the ALCS in 2002 and lost to the Angels (who BTW swept the Yankees that year)

6. Somebody needs to photo-shop the bat out

13. Me too.
I caught a home run ball at the old Tiger Stadium. A friend saw it on TV and laughed her ass off - she said I calmly reached out and caught the ball, while my husband and his best friend cowered behind me. :P
