I thought it was hilarious

The voice overs made it.

At the one guy who tackles someone for a shot to get it. I didn’t realize Petco had its own FBG, I thought you were talking about this guy, who seems to tour parks all over just to get baseballs any way shape or form.

But wow, talk about a Bud Real Man of Genius Mr. Overzealous Foul Ball Catcher Guy. I had one near me at Petco, who hoovered in two foam balls from the Swinging Friar during the 7th inning stretch.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

Wow that guy scares me

I concur

that dude has something wrong with him. He gets SO mad when he sees that ball land in his section that is “EXTREMELY” guarded. He goes from 0 to 60 in no time.

And someone should really tell him it doesn’t count if you just get a dude to toss you a ball during batting practice when no one else is around.

My brother was 8 years old

and would haul in four balls a game during BP sitting in left field at the Q … he was going after ball #5 along with a number of other kids when Mr. Overzealous Batting Practice Home Run Ball Guy stiff-armed a kid into a row of seats to obtain the treasure … it was a sad state of affairs.

Don't forget Jbox...

In between innings two kids were getting their picture taken along the short fence there. FBG jumps in between them as their mom takes the pic. What a jerk!

Hey, you didn't have me in stitches

But I was ecstatic to see you made it Fair Use. :D

I wonder if this guy has a van that he dispenses candy out of…

can you cure us of this fate
mock the litany in its face

What are the rules on Fair Use?

I'm glad you asked!

Fair Use Wiki

Basically, do something to make it your own, present a commentary on it, and don’t blatantly rip it off. The whole “cannot be reproduced, rebroacasted, or transmitted w/o express written consent” is bullshit and would not hold up, say… if they tried to pull this video and you took it to court. They mean you can’t redo the entire game, but MLB Adv.Med. is militant to the letter.

What! No bird?!

The thing with this guy

That’s EVERY game. Every single game this guy’s at, he knocks kids over to get to foul balls.

he also

eats baby condor’s for breakfast.

He has no shame

I'm confused

Is FBG the big guy who actually gets the ball in the video, and hands it to the kid, or is he the jackass in the ballcap that tries to tackle him?

backstory

It’s the guy that hands the ball to the kid. At games, he’s constantly knocking people out of the way to get to foul balls in that area. Like if a ball is coming your way, this is the guy that will barrel through you to get it and then hand it to you while you’re lying on the ground, like, “I didn’t think you could get it yourself.”
