In Anaheim yesterday, Angels outfielder Torii Hunter chased a home run ball hit by visiting New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano in the top of the 4th inning. He was unsuccessful in catching the ball, but managed to tackle a Yankee fan wearing a Mickey Mantle T-shirt in the front row while tumbling over the short right field wall in Angel Stadium.
To make matters worse, Hunter was pulled away by a friend of the fan who must have thought that Hunter tackled the fan on purpose, making an already hilarious moment that much funnier.

Poor Torii Hunter. On top of not catching the home run, he tackled a fan of the opposing team and got yelled at by fans of the opposing team in his home ball park. That's a triple whammy that he can't feel good about.
