Without fans clamoring to claim every ball that ends up in the seats, baseballs have been left scattered throughout stadiums during the coronavirus-shortened season. Some teams are sending out souvenirs to fans if their cardboard cutout gets hit by a ball.
Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani looks for stray baseballs in the stands near cutouts of fans during practice at Angels Stadium on Friday, July 3, 2020, in Anaheim, Calif.
From Target Field to PNC Park and Busch Stadium, there are baseballs scattered everywhere with no fans inside to chase them down during this coronavirus-shortened 60-game season.No scrambles for souvenirs in the upper deck. No races for home run blasts in the bleachers. No jump balls for foul balls in the box seats.
The next batter, Matt Olson, fouled off a pitch down the third-base line and into a section of lower-level seats. Then the ball bounced, hit the walkway and quickly rolled down the stairs to the very bottom row. After Lovelady learned the A’s would donate $81.10 to a local charity because his image was hit by a foul ball, he pledged a donation in the same amount to food bank Three Square in Henderson and encouraged others to help charities if they could.When fans do come back to the ballpark eventually, Angels slugger Justin Upton thinks they should get a special surprise — the chance to pick up all those baseballs in the bleachers that have been fouled off or hit over the fences for home runs.
