Douchebag holds MLB player's first HR ball for ransom

And it's not who you think it is! (Hi, BYH!)

This guy will probably get his teeth rattled around by someone one of these days. He calls himself Brew Town's Ballhawk and writes a blog about all the home-run balls he catches. Well, he caught the first HR hit by Chris Coghlan of the Marlins. When he didn't get what he wanted in order to give it back, douchebag brags about his law-enforcement salary, then thinks he should be respected simply because he works in law enforcement. Practically the first sentence on his blog entry is "What's the ball worth to you?"

His blog is hosted by MLB.com. For now.

Wow. Sounds like a real classy dude. Hope I never get pulled over by him. :

 

He asked for two bats and the ball authenticated. Is that too much for the cheap-ass Marlins to pony up?

 

About one minute into this video, you can see Brew Town's Ballhawk on his day job...complete with a very ball-park-like high-give!

 

And he deserves it for catching the damn ball in the stands?

People like this live in some sort of alternate universe.

 

Give me a break. A normal human being would be happy to get anything. It's not like this is some kind of record-setter. You can't make any money off it (I have no problem with guys selling record balls if they can make big bucks on it.), and you're basically just being a cock for the hell of it. The guy brought him a bat and he said that's only half his demands! What a loser.

 

I've seen this douchebag in action. He's a fuck to the extreme and has the gall to call himself the best Brewers fan out there. Let's get past the nonsense of judging how much of a fan you are ... no "best fan" of a team would ever wear another team's colors, just to get a fucking baseball!

Self-absorbed little dickbag with attention whore syndrome.

 

He buried what he *really* wanted at the bottom of his post:

(From an AP story) "Coghlan said the man demanded an autographed baseball by Coghlan, a personalized Coghlan bat, an autographed Ramirez bat and -- to top it all off -- tickets to the Yankees/Marlins series in South Florida in June."

I've been told that one of his demands was for Hanley Ramirez to *fly him down to the series*! The guy is class A prick.

 

I was actually watching this game and saw his interview. Seems like a real ass. And I'm sure his blog is only half of the story. Just give the kid the ball.
