Apparently someone who "snags" balls at baseball games:
"Veteran "Ballhawk" John Witt has caught 4,805 baseballs since 1977. 2,796 of those baseballs were caught at regular season MLB games, 99 of those are Game Home Run balls. Follow along as he closes in on 5,000 total balls caught, 3,000 balls caught at MLB games and 100 career HR balls caught! -- Sponsored by -- JustGreatTickets.com"
Thanks for the new word!!
