16. I did that last summer. I took a lawn chair, and sat down outside the right field fence.

A boy at the bat hit a high fly ball out into right field. The little boy playing right fielder held his glove up to catch the ball. The ball hit the top of his glove, knocked off his ball cap, and rolled down his back. The little boy looked at me sitting in my lawn chair, and said it slipped. I didn't know one kid on either team, but I was fully entertained and it didn't cost a dime.
