When the time comes for Phillies season tickets to go on sale, most corporations or individuals shell out thousands of dollars for the best seats in the house. The most sought after seats I would think are the Diamond Club seats, which are directly behind home plate rising up about 25 rows as well as the 1st row down the base lines are another favorable option. The reason for people choosing these seats are probably because the are the closest to the action, the liklihood of retrieving a foul ball, and the possibility of getting autographs before the game (there are other reasons I am sure). We are all familiar with the hot foul ball girls which sit down each of the baselines where the stands jut out nearest the field. They usually are wearing a Phillies like jersey with slutty shorts (which are awesome) as well as sporting there glove.
Throughout the course of a game foul balls are dribbled off the early or late swinging bats, which run down the base paths foul giving these front row people a chance at a souvenir as well as a lifelong story. My problem lies with the ball girls who prematurely jump out of there chair and snatch up the ball before it has a chance to reach the stands. It should be the responsbility of MLB to make sure the ball girls don't get there asses in the way of people taking a stab at a souvenir. If for some reason people miss and then it goes back onto the field, then it should be the ball girls responsibility to retrieve the ball and hopefully disperse it to a young fan.
Any thoughts?
