Well as some of you may know a great friend of mine passed away a few months back of cancer at only 28 years old. I played baseball with him since I was 13 years old and we hung out every day since our 13 year old all star summer. Well after he passed and after all the services and fundraisers we did for the family I got to thinking about all our good times and baseball was always a part of those times. My senior year in high school and his jr year he was kicked off of our baseball team over some temper problems and being ejected from his 3rd game... lol. It was one of our last games that year and I hit a walk off grand slam at one of our home games and Chris was sitting in the stands watching the game, after I got mobbed at home plate and the dust settled some kid handed me the ball, I ran right over to Chris and tossed him the ball. I always remembered he had that ball up on his trophey case with all of his other tropheys and awards. I contacted his wife and his parents and asked about the ball figuring there was no way after 10 plus years he still had this ball. I was shocked and thrilled to find out he still had the ball along with all his other stuff after all these years, and it just goes to show what a great friend he was. I am the proud owner of this Hr ball, and it will never leave my possesion
