Fans get tossed out of baseball parks for stepping onto the field. That’s why this gentleman is lucky that the tarp was there to catch him as he fell out of the stands chasing a foul ball:

He paid for it, too. Literally.

His feet never touch the ground, and security didn’t immediately come by to escort him out of the park upon his return to his seat, so maybe he got lucky and was able to watch the rest of the game his beloved Phillies would end up winning.
Earning this souvenir did cost him, though: he lost a single quarter from his pocket, one he can never retrieve. And since Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro was in the booth at the time, this fan likely felt eyes filled with disgust boring holes through him as he struggled to right himself. Was it all worth it, backwards-hat-wearing Phillybro?
