This guy calls himself "the happy youngster" he is completely and utterly pathetic. he calls himself a "ballhawk" and goes to mlb games, and keeps baseballs......foul balls, batting practice homers, toss ups etc....and keeps "stats" of all the balls he receives.....well florida marlins rookie Chris Coughlan hit his first MLB homerun the other night.....and guess who caught the ball? (probably infront of a bunch of kids) This douche bag..... sense the ball is very important to Chris (his first mlb homerun) he asked for it back......now enless its barry bonds 760th or something......usually a signed bat and a photo is fair game for a trade off......especially considering coughlan is a nobody as of now.....and isnt exactly a millionaire yet (was just pulled up from the minors about a week ago) this guy wrote his "demands" on some paper and gave it to the marlins brass who approached him about returning the ball.....oh and yes....he wears an opposing teams hat during their batting practice to give himself a better chance to get toss up balls from the players.....this guy is crazy.... heres the story he asked for a signed bat.......and he was specific (like it was a ransom) for him to sign "nick thanks for catching my 1st homerun" on one bat.......a photo.....and a game used hanley ramirez bat...... This is a complete joke.....this guy is insane. and honestly if you go to his blog.....you see it as well. here is his blog http://thehappyyoungster.mlblogs.com/ look how crazy this MAN is......and yes....i emphasize man....because he is a grown adult.....he gives a detail description on how BATTING PRACTICE WENT!!!!! wtf.......this guy is a looney toon. poor coughlan.......this rookie might get one chance to make it in the bigs.....and so far his 15 mins of fame is because of this douche-bag holding his first major league home run ball for ransom......whata joke.
Anyway, this guy turned out to be a real punk. He grabbed his home run ball and stormed off without saying a word. Then, he turned back toward me and said, "why y'all gotta hold my home run ball for ransom?" This guy is a total douchebag. I love the way Coghlan posed for this picture though, hilarious.
