Makin it rain from the luxury box

[saucyspade19]

Guy threw money onto the field from the luxury box in San Diego....but it was only ones. Balla or not balla?


Castillo's solo homer, off former teammate David Wells, was literally a money shot. Shortly before his at-bat in the sixth inning, the dollar bills came wafting from high in the seats, with several landing in left field and in foul territory and some reaching the Orioles' dugout.

"Oh my goodness. I've never seen that before," Castillo said. "If I wasn't playing, I would probably chase the money, too."

Padres spokesman George Stieren said the bills were thrown by a fan in a suite. The fan was ejected.

After Castillo returned to the dugout, teammate Freddie Bynum handed him a cap with some bills in it, a twist on the tradition of fans passing the hat after a homer in the minors.

Castillo declined to take it.

"He was making a joke like, 'We were collecting for you because you went deep,'" Castillo said.

"We hadn't passed the hat since the minor leagues, so we were trying to get up a little money for him," Bynum said. "I gave my three dollars to the bat boy."

Padres left fielder Jose Cruz Jr. picked up a few bills. After the inning, a ballgirl picked up the rest.

"I was ready to call time out and put some in my pocket, although I didn't see any 20s or 50s or 100s," Wells said. "It was kind of cool. It was fun for the fans. It wasn't fun for me."
