No, he can catch his own. I wasnt a kid when I got my first one. I have two.

I have been to 50+ MLB games in my life...the closest I've ever come to catching any ball was a Carlos Beltran homerun at Fenway in 06'
I was jumping seats and pushing kids out of the way....almost got that fucker too, but was a row short...
there's no way I'm giving that ball to some kid, unless I brought him to the game...

fuck the kids, unless its your kid
real question - throw back the opposing team homerun, or keep it?

nope
better question: If you caught a home run by the opposing team would you throw it back?

Pro-tip: If you are sitting in the outfield and think you may get a homerun ball, you take a scrubby old ball with you to the game. If you get a HR, pocket the real ball and throw out the scrub.

Foul ball - if there was a kid nearby, i'd give it to him, what am i going to do with a baseball? kiss it everynight before i go to bed?
Homer - throw it back immediately if it was opposing team. keep it if its the REDS team!

I think I'd fall over from shock if I caught a foul ball.

i'd be happier to see a kid with the ball than having the ball myself.

I go to more away games than home games(don't make it to NYC very often these days)...so if it's an away home run...that's usually my team.
I like stupid memorabilia from different parts of my life....which is why I still have ticket stubs from 1994...I don't kiss them every night before bed, but I wouldn't just give them to some random kid either...

also...I think once I actually get that first one out of the way...I would probably give any I caught after that away to random kids...
Home run balls on the other hand....the kids can fuck off...and if I'm at Citifield or whatever the fuck they call the Mets new stadium...I would throw the opposing teams home run ball back on the field...if it's at a stadium where I don't give a fuck about either team, I'd probably keep it.
