catching baseballs

man, this defies all odds.

Major props to Zack Hample, the New Yorker who keeps proving that when it comes to his hobby of "snagging" baseballs, luck has nothing to do with it.

Only one week removed from catching two of the last home runs ever hit at Yankee Stadium, Hample came up big again on Sunday, getting into postion to catch the final homer hit by the Mets at Shea Stadium, a blast to left field from Carlos Beltran against the Marlins.

oh my gosh.  So if I were him I'd sell both balls, did he? And I'm curious how much richer he is.  Anyone know?
