From ditching a cell phone and beer to almost sacrificing two drinks, we’ve seen people do crazy things to get a baseball at a game, but this one might take the cake. Actually, this one definitely tops everything.
A dedicated fan jumped into McCovey Cove to grab a home run ball at the Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants game on Friday night.
During the bottom of the seventh inning, the Giants’ Joe Panik launched a two-run shot to right field off Phillies pitcher Jeanmar Gomez. The ball bounced over the soon-to-be wet fan, and without hesitation, he jumped into the water.
He didn’t even think twice and fist-pumped the souvenir while trying to stay afloat. Understandably, getting a home run ball at a baseball game is awesome, but what about his wallet? Cell phone? Keys? Gum?
It didn’t matter to this guy. He eventually got out of the water with help from stadium officials and a ring buoy. He was smiling cheek-to-cheek, so to him, it was all worth it.
The fan’s smile probably lived on after the game, as the Giants destroyed the Phillies 15-2.
