I have had a ton of player / fan interactions especially in my younger years at the stadium. Most were just hilarious.
Early 90’s against the Mariners. September call up time. I’m in front row of LFGA. I’m kinda on this rookie throughout the game. Mostly saying old time shit like after he bobbled a fly ball… “God damn, Dr. Strangeglove, I swear when that ball hit your glove it made a “clank”. Looked back and smiled and later he tossed me a ball.
In the 70’s I was with a guy who spoke fluent Spanish. Sixto Lazcano was playing RF for the brewers. We were sitting from row RFGA right next to the bullpen, a ball gets hit down the line and he cannot find it after it losing it in the lights.
As lezcano is looking around , my friend yells, SIXTO , AQUI, AQUI!! Pointing to the foul pole. Lezcano hears it and runs for the corner as the ball had already hit that tricky corner and was rolling past the bullpen gate. Al Cowans got an ITPHR for our efforts.
He was pissed. Wanted to climb the wall.
But we laughed for years about that.

Every fan of the Dodgers should be thrown in prison for life. Whether they were at the game or not.
Arrest them all now. Figure out the charges later.
