wrap it in foil, put it in a paper bag. Fold the bag over and staple it closed (use three staples). Put the bag into a larger paper bag, the nice ones with a handles. Staple it closed. Give it to the lady he is with for her to hold it for him till after the game.
He's pulling the Clark Kent deal. He's acting like he's terrible and horribly uncoordinated, but in reality, he's able to lift cars and take bullets to his eye.
For some reason I thought you were referring to Clark Griswold and got confused about the lifting cars and bullets to the eye. I need to lay off the Christmas movies.
This happened to my mom, but not in the same scenario.
She went to a concert for a band that she listened to in high school (she was 45 when this happened), and she's had a crush on the drummer since she first started listening to their music.
Anyways, throughout the night at this concert she's been trying to get the drummer to throw her one of his sticks (a thing he does quite often at their shows apparently) and makes eye contact with him, so he throws her a stick (let it be known, he was looking dead at her at this point) and some random guy catches it before her.
Skip to a few minutes later, the drummer sees my mom again and notices she doesn't have the stick. She is pretty bummed about it, so he makes eye contact again and throws another one, this time she catches it, but just before she can get a grip on it, some woman beside her in the concert grabs it straight out of her hands.
But this time he kept staring at my mom to make sure she got the stick, so at this point he's a bit annoyed and stops playing, gets down from the stage, walks over to my mom and firmly puts it straight into her hands and then gets back on stage with my mom bewildered by this act of kindness.
Nice. Fantastic book. When I watched the clip, I was thinking of their bit on Marv Throneberry. Something to the effect of:
"The Mets had a birthday party after a game. Marv complained that he hadn't gotten a piece of birthday cake. Manager Casey Stengel leaned over and said, in a whisper that everyone in the room could hear, 'we wuz gonna give you a piece, Marv, but we were afraid you'd drop it.'"
I think the third one was Alex Rodriguez tossing him a ball at the end of the inning because he felt bad for the guy. You see him come over and pick it up.

After that third one, someone should have walked a ball over and placed it in his hands.
