Who is that good looking salesman from Steiner Sports?
This was the first home-run at Citi Field. According to Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first time that a new baseball stadium was opened with the first hitter hiting a home-run.
If Wayne Westerfield did throw the ball back, he would spend the rest of his life regretting that action.
Facinating. Can't believe that I can actually buy sports treasures like that! Lucky guy to have caught that valuable ball! Must call that handsome Jason Klein and buy something from the Yankees quick while I have the chance.
Wayne is a great guy. I was sitting a couple of rows behind him and he let my 8 year old son hold the ball so I can take a picture with the both of them. Just think it only took 3 pitches in CitiField history for my son to have a moment he will have forever.
THROW IT BACK!
Wayne's a smart guy! Why throw a "valuable" baseball back??
Let the gentleman, (J.Klein) from Steiner Sports, offer you a "GOOD PRICE" ... and sell it to him!!! POCKET THE MONEY NOW, while the "GETTING IS GOOD". I understand companies pay "BIG BUCKS FOR THESE ITEMS."
Good Luck to you Wayne Westerfield ... and to you Mr. J. Klein.
