There can be no greater achievement for a fan at a baseball game than to legally snatch a foul ball from a rival team’s player: no leaning over the fence like a jerk, no roughhousing of the opposing player like a jerk, just a clean catch keeping your team from making an out. It’s perhaps the only way a fan at a sporting event in any sport can positively help their team, unless you really think your free throw antics are distracting professional hoopsters.
Matt Adams shoves fan who catches foul ball, fan gives him the finger
A true Sporting Event Hero saved his team’s player from an untimely foul-out, then got to flip off a player on the opposing team.
A Reds fan snatched one out of the grasp of the Cardinals’ Matt Adams, but what’s really great is what happens afterwards:
Got the ball, irritated Adams enough to get a shove (but not shoved so hard it would, like, hurt or anything) and got to flip him off for good measure. Now that, sirs and madam, is a great afternoon at the ballpark.
In other news, hey, MLB players can shove fans apparently!
