Can Someone Explain Why The SF Giants Have A Middle Aged "Balldude" Shagging Their Foul Balls?

Wait, is this even legal? Do other teams have grown ass men shagging their balls during gametime? I thought it was an unwritten rule major league clubs could only have cute girls or young hardo’s roaming the foul line. Since when can an AARP eligible “Ball Dude” snake his way into a full uniform onto the field? This geezer stole the Scotty Smalls’ glove right off The Sandlot and is still going strong. More power to him, I guess. Granted, there’s no shot any ball girl is charging in to catch those liners on the fly. If only he were a couple year’s older then Ruben Amaro would give him an overvalued contract.

If Ball Dudes are the key to winning 3 titles in 5 years then I’ll subject my own father to a guaranteed heart attack trying to run down foul balls every day. Still though, give me the Hooters girls in Spring Training all day, everyday. We’re going to lose anyway, might as well look good doing so.
