Tigers -vs- Redsox 4/9/2008-Question to anyone who might have a video copy of the game.

I was in the stands at the game, when Marcus Thames of the Tigers hit a homer, I think in the 4th, that hit the wall and landed in a Redsox fans lap. He was disgusted and threw the ball back into play. It landed near Manny who picked it up and threw it into the stands. I stood up and barehanded it ( without spilling my beer I might add) and supposedly I was caught on the jumbotron and on ESPN. My son is a huge Manny fan ( if he had not touched it last I would be throwing it back also) so I wanted to get a copy of the throw/catch and make a still pic to go with the ball for my son ( and to prove it to a few hat think I'm full of BS). Does anybody have that game on film?? I would pay to get a copy. I have tried ESPN, Tigers, Sox and Fox sports all have said they cant/wont release any footage. Anybody have any thoughts for a 11 year old fan who thinks his old man is the bomb for catching a Manny ball.

Just started a caption contest over at Twinkie Town. The winner gets......bragging rights. How do we declare a winner? We don't! But it's worth a laugh--it's the pic taken of Youk after winning the Tuesday game for Boston. Seacrest out. http://www.twinkietown.com/2008/4/30/470340/caption-contest-kevin-youk#comments

The captain as a kid. Obviously a bit more mobile back in the day.
