On Tue. June 23rd we went to the Diamondbacks vs. Rangers game. We were on the homerun patio which is located next to the pool. Justin Upton hit a homerun and it came right at us. The Rangers player tipped the ball off the top of his glove and it hit the wall behind us. Josh was able to get the ball. He didn't catch it unfortunately but he picked it up. They replayed the homerun on SportsCenter later that night and you can totally see us ducking out of the way. It was awesome!! The representatives from the ballpark came down and asked if we wanted it signed. We said yes of course, so they took it and had Justin Upton sign it. We just got it back in the mail. It was so great. Alot of Josh's friends gave him a hard time about ducking out of the way but he is the lucky one with the ball. It was definitely a great game!

Great story! I'd have to say good for you for ducking. You could be missing a few teeth if you didn't, you never know!
Cool! I love the picture of the ball! Way to go Josh!
Awesome! And you didn't get pressured to give it to a little kid either like the time we went! Can hardly wait to see you guys. We'll put you on our blog list.

I thought i recognized him on SC that night. I am totally jealous that he got a ball and from Upton no less. Congrats!
