South Orange Man Wants to Cash In After Catching A-Rod Homer

Craig Foskey grabbed Yankee slugger's first home run of the season as he appeals his 211-game suspension.

A South Orange man "would love to have a conversation" with Alex Rodriguez after catching the maligned Yankee third baseman's first home run since returning from the disabled list.

Craig Foskey, 41, a Verizon supervisor, was sitting in Section 133, Row 13 of Yankee Stadium Sunday when he caught A-Rod's first homer of the season in the second inning against the Detroit Tigers, according to the New York Post.

Rodriguez is appealing the 211-game suspension he received last week for allegedly using performance-enhancing drugs.

Foskey said catching A-Rod's 648th career home run would really be something "if [the ball] is worth a lot of money," according to the article.
