Game-Used Pecos League Ball - Garden City Wind A local kid was shagging foul balls on the street all night. He must've grabbed a dozen. I saw one go into the bushes across the street that he didn't see. After the game, I went to the spot, and with my phone's flashlight, was able to find it. First time I've gotten a foul ball that was hit outside the park while I was sitting inside the park.
