Fan Steals Fly Ball From Cody Ross (Video)
By Larry Brown June 23, 2011 - Posted in Baseball

The Giants beat the Twins Wednesday night 5-1 and there was nobody happier about it than one particular fan. A Giants fan nearly cost his team an out when he stole a ball from Cody Ross down the left field line. Check out the video courtesy of Sports Grid (click close on the top right corner to watch):

The fan knew immediately that he had screwed up and felt badly about it. Luckily for him, he was spared when Alexi Casilla grounded out in that at-bat. What’s the lesson to be learned here? Don’t interfere with balls in play. Oh yeah, and anybody older than 12 who takes a glove to a game is lame.

    That was bush league. Should never happen in your own ballpark.

    What’s weird is earlier that same day Tribeca Film and ESPN released a documentary called “Catching Hell” all about the Steve Bartman incident. It launched via their On Demand platform. Thats way too weird and eerie to be a coincidence.
