We just posted Zack Hample’s first-person account on MLB.com (Giants club site version | MLB.com Left Field version) of catching Barry Bonds’ 724th homer, which tied Bonds with godfather Willie Mays for ninth on the all-time RBI list. Congrats to The Baseball Collector for that snagnificant grab, which had a few people buzzing around the MLBlogosphere. Jetlag and all, Zack is back home in the East now and is planning to update his MLBlog with more details later this evening, then sleep is recommended. Your friendly neighborhood blogwatcher actually hired this guy over a year ago to write Minor League recaps for us at MiLB.com, yet the snagger continues to make news himself. Nice catch.

Jonathan of Red Sox Nation Daily will be the MLBlogger of the Week tonight, appearing on the MLB Radio show "Under the Lights" around 10:15 ET. Please be sure to listen to hear him talk about his MLBlog and about the anticipation of being there in person to watch the Yankees-Sox rivalry under way at Fenway. He’s taking a Sox fan and a Yankee fan with him — should be interesting. As always, you can find previous MLBloggers of the Week by clicking the drop-down under the Multimedia heading on the MLBlogs.com homepage.

So regarding the previous post here as well as the speculation in the comments on Zack Hample’s blog, yes, The Baseball Collector has a nice addition for his collection that is not your average batting practice ball. How does he do it? Read his blog and find out. Also keep an eye on our Left Field page at MLB.com, to see a first-person account — should be there shortly.

Ronnie Dunn of Brooks and Dunn was just in front of our building here. Love working at this place. You watch him on NBC’s "Today" show playing at Rockefeller Center in the morning, and then you see him sightseeing around your building later in the day. Two days ago, I am standing out front and a familiar face walks by all by himself on the sidewalk — Delroy Lindo, recognized by most for his roles as the detective in Gone in Sixty Seconds or as Mr. Rose in the Cider House Rules, but always to me for his role as Satchel Paige in Soul of the Game.
