The Scarlet Knights Make MLB History!!!



'Rutgers Student Emerges With No. 500' [MLB.com]
"The Rutgers student was on the ground clamoring with the rest of the fans. Somehow, he got hold of the ball and was promptly whisked away by security guards - physically removed from the fray, spectators said, pumping his arm while holding the ball in the air."

"Walter "Sonny" Kowalczyk, 29, formerly of Hamilton Township, won a battle for the balls, catching the high, arcing shot that Rodriguez slammed into the left field stands, his cousin Dawn Chiacchio said."

"It's his ball, I'm happy for him and hopefully we can negotiate something to get the ball back," said Rodriguez, who yesterday became the 22nd player in baseball history -- and the youngest -- to reach the 500 mark. "I really want it back. But if not, I congratulate him for catching it. Nice catch."
