- Those guys chasing after the baseballs that fly out of Wrigley’s left-field bleachers on Waveland Avenue? They’re ballhawks. And the park’s new scoreboards and bleachers won’t stop the passionate, longtime hobbyists from continuing to snag out-of-the-park hits. Check out this new So Chicago video by Tribune's Chris Walker.

It's harder to do that with the new scoreboard
I was a kid in the 90s and every game I waited for the home runs these guys show no mercy they knock you to the ground . Luckily I knew a few players on the cubs personally and would get goodies after the games from them a few blocks away in the alleys . Awesome memories.
never saw a bunch of bums making fun of what I would love to do. keep ball Hawking guys.
From 12-14 years old in the 90's I hung out at that very corner. I got 2 batting practice home runs and 1 game home run ball. Those adults push and trample over kids for a baseball.
Most people work in the daytime when a ballgame is in the afternoon during an afternoon. How do these ball hawks find the time to do what they do? Unless they have an evening shift job or are off that day from work.
People who poke fun at these guys are just mad that they are dead inside themselves
Getting autographs is more fun
i remember watching this video when the cubs weren't world champs
One can see grade schoolers ball hawking but these grown adults? That one man said he's retired so he apparently has the time for it, I know I don't have the time given I work and have other things to do.
congrats
Millions of virgins: a story

LOL I can't stop laughing at this. I've been laughing for 2 minutes already
Brick, your a funny guy. If you took the 2 mins to do research instead of trolling for comments. You would easily find out that he plays on the field, made movies with Bill Murray, had multiple books written about him, broke records, and supports a family all while living out his dream to be a part of Wrigley. The guy is a legend over there and you are a overweight internet troll... whose got the exciting life now?
LMAO, you had to come up with something to say knowing how ugly your ass is. Don't worry I'll stop Brick you sound like a special kinda guy that aint worth my attention, proceed with trying to make fun of people who live exciting fulfilling lives. This guy is in his 60's and runs around with the players. You probably would run outa breathe walking up the dug out stairs with your sad ass. Take it easy, or lazy, they both apply to you.
What, are they 12? C'mon
No they are just doing what they love.
+Austin Conrad 99% of them aren't home runs. Check out his CZcams channel or his blog.
