Square in the jaw

The baseball player who is in the periphery of the field has a very important job, he is to retrieve the ball before the other player makes it to the base. He also needs to fight eager fans who want to claim the ball for themselves, and get it back from them, but he doesn’t deserve to get punched for it! These balls make for great souvenirs, and are a collector’s item, especially if they can get a player to sign it. Baseballs autographed by famous players get auctioned for hundreds and thousands of dollars. We sorta understand the competition now!
