There's something about catching a ball at a baseball game that will make some fans run afoul in their attempts just to snag one.
Such was the case for one lucky, or unlucky fan in his case, at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night as the Yankees hosted the Baltimore Orioles.
In this photograph submitted to CBS 2 HD by a fan attending the game, another fan is seen falling from the first deck onto the protective netting behind home plate while trying to grab a foul ball.
To make matters worse, the ambitious fan's cell phone clipped to his trousers gets caught in the net, making his crawl back to the mainland that much more difficult.
It may have been an embarrassing tumble, but hey, at least he got a free baseball!
