West Sacramento, California – When a drone suddenly appeared near the wall of the left field of the Sutter Health Park on Monday evening, the veteran of athletics of athletics, Stewart Thalblum, decided to thwart it.
The drone tried to lift it from the grass, but Thalblum used a bat and killed it, being careful not to cut itself with the rotating blades.
Once the device has been covered, Thalblum gave it to a security guard.
The drone appeared with Seth Brown in the stick for athletics during the seventh round of the 18-3 rout of the Chicago Cubs, delaying the match for a few minutes.
“I think that for me, I didn’t want to cut my fingers. I always see that the news, people are injured when he hovers or other and their hands stuck,” said Thalblum, 22, a sixth year bat boy. “I tried to catch it by the bottom and it was there for me, so I just caught it, then I just started to unleash myself roughly with the bat just to break them so that it did not go away from me because I was going to take it behind the wall. We could not understand what to do and he tried to get away from me.”
The father of Thalblum is the director of the longtime clubhouse of A Mikey Thalblum.
Cubs manager, Craig Counsell, was impressed. When the drone was spotted by Chicago players, Counsell alerted referee Adrian Johnson, who had not seen him.
“I suppose it is the world in which we are right now,” said Counsell. “But it was funny because it seemed that the drone tried to fly away, he was trying to steal Mikey’s son too. It’s life in 2025.”
Stewart Thalblum had noticed the precedent in the stick in the stick, a first for him, then saw Johnson stop playing – so he went to work.
“Everyone looked at him for a while and I never had something like that.” Said Thalblum. “I asked around me, everyone is looking at and no one in security or anything had gone there, so I did not know who it is the responsibility, so I was like, ok, maybe it’s me.”
Dad was very proud of his son – again.
“I am proud of him for many other reasons more than getting a drone, just to be a good child,” said the father, laughing and not surprised at rapid thought. “It’s a good clubbie.”
