NEW YORK (AP) — Marist women’s basketball coach Brian Giorgis usually tries to avoid fouls. On Saturday at Yankee Stadium, he kept collecting them.
Giorgis cleanly caught two foul balls — in consecutive innings, no less — while sitting in the second deck watching his beloved Cleveland Indians play the New York Yankees.
Not bad for a lifelong baseball fan who’s been to nearly every park in the majors, but had never come close to snagging a souvenir.
“I’m going to play the lottery when I get home,” Giorgis told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
