A man sitting in the front row along the foul line of Wednesday night's Tampa Bay Rays game fell onto the field face first while reaching for a foul ball.
It happened in the top of the fourth inning as Boston Red Sox batter Mike Aviles hit the ball foul down the third base side. The fan fell onto the field, along with a bunch of his belongings, including a pair of sunglasses and what appeared to be his cell phone. The man did get the ball, and was able to collect everything he dropped, but most likely had to be ejected from the game for entering the field of play.
This guy seemed to be a little bit old to be getting so carried away over a baseball.
