Greedy Rangers fan nabs ball from woman in stands (Video)
A Rangers fan at Globe Life Field made an impressive grab leaning over a railing. The only problem? He robbed someone else to do it.
Now that Joey Gallo is on his way to New York, the Rangers may have to rely on fans to provide most of their highlights for the rest of the season.
On Wednesday, the night the Gallo trade was completed, a couple of fans produced a highlight-worthy moment in more ways than one.
It started with an impressive grab from a fan reaching far over the railing. Unfortunately, that catch came at the expense of another fan crossing underneath.

The woman in black was just about in the right place at the right time walking back to her seat until the guy overhead snatched the ball out of the air.
After some apparently lighthearted ribbing, the man in red called the woman back and gave her the ball in a feel-good moment.
It worked out for everyone. The guy got the highlight. The woman got the ball. They both get to show their friends and family the clip of that time they appeared on the Rangers Bally Sports broadcast.
Rangers fans provide the highlights without Joey Gallo at the park
Of course, the night at Globe Life Field wasn’t a win for everyone. Texas fell 3-2 to the Diamondbacks in a game featuring two teams active in the trade market on the day.
The Rangers dealt hard-hitting lefty Joey Gallo to the Yankees in exchange for pitcher Randy Vazquez and outfielder Everson Pereira, plus four prospects, including shortstop Josh Smith, second baseman Ezequiel Duran, outfielder Trevor Hauver and pitcher Glen Otto.
Meanwhile, Arizona was without third baseman Eduardo Escobar, who they traded to the Brewers for two prospects earlier in the day.
Rangers pitcher Jordan Lyles gave up two runs and struck out six in seven innings of action.
