There's this crazy old dude who lives in this house that we think is haunted. A few times our baseball went into his backyard but we're hella scared to go get it back from him. He's always scowling at us from the window. Looks hella mean. I dunno what to do? There's rumors he might be an ex-nazi or a murderer or something.

Haha I got a true ass story I didn't even think about until you posted that.
I been working in Oakland the past 6 months and it cost to park everywhere around my building except for these two streets and this coldisack. The problem is hella cars get broken into on those streets so there is broken glass on almost every part of the streets but its usually from the night time and weekend. The only place to park without having to roll over broken glass is the coldisack because nobody parks there on the weekends.
I been parking there for the entire time and the second week I was there I noticed this long ass human piece of shit on the sidewalk on the corner I have to turn on. For about 4 months I would have to step over this thing to get to my street. I finally got tired of looking at it so I put this take out box and a bag with an empty can of coke over it. At least I wouldn't forget and step in it by accident. The next day I pull into work I see the bag in the middle of the street and the turd broke in half but out of the way of the sidewalk. The can of coke was missing lol. It has been winter so this peice of shit would get refreshed and plump up like new every time it rained so finally its kinda warm in Oakland so the turd has dried up and is almost one with the earth.
So basically walking over human turds for 6 months, broken car windows, garbage, and getting bum'd for change 5 times on the same block on your way to work would be a way to tell your in a fucked up neiborhood.

So my friends dared me to go knock on his door and try to get our baseball back. I did it. The old guy invited me in while he went and fetched a box full of baseballs. He had pictures of all the greats on his wall. He told me a story about how he was on his way to the big league when his shoulder threw out and his wife died of cancer. He's been hella misunderstood but the guys won't believe me. I'm going to try and do something big to show him he's still appreciated. Maybe get the whole town involved or something. Maybe, just maybe we can get him to coach our team.
