The fan who caught Andy Pages’ Opening Day home run revealed his plans for the ball to The California Post.
Blank snared the go-ahead, three-run shot — the first home run of the Dodgers’ 2026 season — and told The California Post minutes later that the moment was specifically why he wanted to sit in that part of the ballpark this year.
“We sat by the foul pole in home run territory last year, the whole season,” Blank said. “And we moved. This is our first game sitting here. We moved our seats here because we wanted to catch home run balls.”Blank said he’s only caught one other homer in his life, and that came some three years ago while he was in the crowd for the MLB’s Home Run Derby in Seattle. His latest memento clearly felt a little sweeter for the man who was clad in a Dodgers jersey and LA hat. “It is the first home run ball of the year for the champions,” he said. “So, you never know. It could be valuable.”“If the Dodgers approach me,” he said, “I’m game.”MLB star suing parents for $3M for alleged misuse of financesNew-look Mets torture Cy Young winner in Opening Day win over PiratesStream It Or Skip It: 'Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole' On Netflix, Where A Troubled Detective Tracks Down A Serial Killer Who Is Terrorizing Oslo
