Rays kid could go far. I kind of wish he didn’t say “It’s right here” and just let everyone stoop over indefinitely.

beer hero guy is a legend. He stole that ball outta no where and gave the crowd enough excitement for one night. Just look at the candid reactions by his peers…. captivating.

Sure, there was good hand-eye coordination to catch the ball. But it looks to me like the catch broke the cup. His choices were to drink it, or to let the beer flow out everywhere. I think he did what everyone would do. It’s a fine GIF. It’s not special.
