Ok last one. This is a good story that involves gambling...so listen up! lol Friend and I go to Vegas last year for like 3 days. We decide to shoot over to Arizona and catch a Dbacks game. We fly in, catch a cab to the park..watch game...catch cab back to airport..and back to vegas..how sweet! So we do. Before we leave my buddy places various bets including the Under in the dbacks game in probably 4-5 parlays. Randy Johnson is on the mound going for his 20th victory of season. They are playing the Dodgers. We get there...we have seets about 5 rows up from pool. Awesome park. His under is looking good, it is 5-0 i believe heading into the 8th. He has under 7 BTW. We go for a walk around the park to see everything before we leave. In the bot of 8th...the dodgers walk the 8 hitter to get to Johnson who promptly hits a 2 run double! Game is now on 7...still a push for his straight bet and all his parlays. BTW the other 4-5 games he used in pars keying AZ under all came in...just waiting on this game. So we decide to watch top of 9th from center field. Shawn Green comes up and hits the ball right at us! I lean over this rail to try to catch it, and the ball goes under the railing and bounces behind me into the open walkway where my friend is standing...he goes to run for it and slips on the dusty concrete and falls down...rolls over...and two people going for the ball step on him!!! Needless to say he didn't get the ball...and the homer made him lose all of his parlay's and his straight bet! And for a souvenier he got a fractured toe!!! I was laughing so hard at him laying on the ground i almost died. Thats my fav baseball game story to tell.
