This fan really wants a foul ball (Video)
By CM Towle
MLB fan engages in an impromptu moment of parkour in order to come up with a foul ball hit during an Indians – Royals game on Tuesday.
If you watch any amount of baseball on TV, you’ll inevitably see fans going all out to catch foul balls or home runs. Whether it’s leaping over seats, going under seats, reaching over the walls or even fighting other fans, people really want their free baseballs. At a game between the Royals and Indians on Tuesday, one fan decided to go full-parkour in his attempt to snag a foul ball. Watch below, as posted by CBS Sports.
The guy is on the concourse overlooking the seats when he sees the foul ball come his way. He then actually leaps over the rails into the seats, drops his beer (his beer!) and falls to the ground searching beneath the seats for the free baseball. He then walks off casually, now in the possession of a real free baseball, but without his $10 beer.
Note the fans in this desolate area of the stadium, clapping slowly as they watch the guy’s mad scramble over the rail. They’re probably more amazed at what he gave up for the foul ball as opposed to his determination in getting it.
