And you'll have plenty to sell on E-bay.

Warn the pigeons not to land on the field....

Hope the wind doesn't pick up and blow trash around...

Typically anyone who catches a home run ball is going to keep it. I've been watching games very probably since long before our friend dbaxpwnall was thought of. The number of times I've ever seen homerun balls tossed back outside of Wrigley I could count on one hand.

I'll gladly answer your questions...in the numerous games I have been to at Coors Field, I have never seen a Rockies fan throw a home run ball back. Never. There was one game we attended against the Cubs where we sat out in the homerun pavillion area. A Cubs fan caught a home run ball a few rows down and the fan started to act like he was going to throw it back. He was immediately warned by Rox fans sitting around him that it would probably result in his ejection. He instead gave the ball to a boy sitting close by. However, as I have noted and as several other people here now have laboriously attempted to inform you, it wouldn't matter whether you were a Rockies fan or not. You would get tossed and if there were symptoms of intoxication, you'd probably get a trip down the the police holding facility to boot. AND...the situation here in Denver is NOT different than it is in any of the other MLB cities apart from Chicago.

Yawn...You sir, are a very sheltered person if you really believe all of what you just wrote.

Anyway, this is really boring. You guys can believe what you want, makes no difference to me. I will be back this year when I see one of your fans get a HR ball from one of our players, and rub it in your faces when he throws it back on the field and DOSEN't get thrown out of the park for it.

If he does get thrown out of the game, then my original statement is correct, and your security gestapo truley are fascists.

Either way I win, so life is good. Ta ta ladies.

I'm kind of done with the conversation, since it is pointless. If you don't frequent games at Coors, then there's no way we can prove anything to you. So whatever.

The real question I have is why are two Dbacks fans so snarky?? Most of us here are very happy to talk baseball with fans of any team. You two just seemed to come in here with a chip on your shoulder. Why?

Pretty lame, all the D-worm fans have to troll about on another team's board is throwing his balls on the field? Guffaw

Oh, and, since this is clearly the first time your mommy gave you her password to get onto a message board, go learn what it is to be a troll. Clue: it is not uncivilized to call someone a troll when said troll tries to start a moronic argument over something something pretty stupid.

While I think it is absolutely stupid to throw a HR ball back on to the field, and I'll give Cubs fans credit for starting the stupid tradition, it does seem like it is done in a majority of MLB parks now. I also think it was a little lame how Rockies security and the police handled the situation since, to the best of my knowledge, the Commisioner and MLB Security have not issued any directives to stop the practice because it is not deemed to be a danger at this point. It just doesn't rise to the seriousness of throwing a bottle or battery (Giants fans) or some other object at an unsuspecting player or umpire. Again, personally I think it's stupid to throw the ball back.

Big Ron, always the voice of reason. For the record, I think it's stupid too, and if I ever caught one, I would probably keep it. The whole point of me being here is to see why they threw that guy out last night. Seems pretty lame on their part, probably the most lame thing I have seen in a game by security.

Sutton did say tonight that if it had been a Rox fan, he would have been thrown out of the game also. He said it was a new rule they started this year. Whatever, it's weak. Either stop it all across the board, or let it go the way it's been since long before I was probably born.

So anyway, good times be seeing y'all next time we meet in Coors field to see how that new rule is going.
