History Made Most in attendance at Sunday evening’s game very likely didn’t catch the significance of one lone foul ball. But, one fan who has witnessed 463 games knew immediately the magnitude of the moment. It took 15 years and four days (5,842 days) and 466 games for an AppleSox Paul Thomas Sr. Baseball Stadium first. What was the momentous, historical event that shocked the baseball world...a foul ball made it into the press box. The wayward horsehide entered the box in the upper left corner of the opening (from the playing field view). Before the prized sphere could be saved and sent to Cooper- stown it was tossed to a fan who has no idea the importance of what he now possesses.
