While many fans value foul balls like they are gold, it’s hard to say Root Sports’ Colorado Rockies reporter Ryan Spilborghs didn’t come out as the winner of a trade that went down at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley hit a foul ball right to Spilborghs, a former Rockies player, by the dugout. That’s when he managed to make a swap with a Dodgers fan:
Foul ball for a cupcake.
It does appear as though the fan offered Spilborghs a cupcake on her way over to the railing. However, he didn’t take her up on that offer—because that’s not the cupcake he wanted. He wanted a chocolate one.
Some trades involve hesitation by one or more sides. For Spilborghs, this deal was a no-brainer.
It’s a good thing Spilborghs was able to snack during the game. The game was only at its halfway point at the time. Colorado pulled out a 5-4 victory in 16 innings, nearly five-and-a-half hours after the first pitch.
