Rays fan flips over railing going after ball

Found May 03, 2012 on Holdout Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: David Price
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Rays

A Tampa Bay Rays fan tumbled backwards over a railing while trying to catch a foul ball during Wednesday night's game in Tampa, but was able to use his hands to break his fall and land on his feet.



The Rays fan, wearing a David Price jersey, was facing the rows behind him when he watched the ball bounce towards him from about five rows back. The fan leaned back and reached up for the ball, which was over his head, when he fell backwards over the railing, spilling the beer he was holding. Fortunately, he was in the front row of the section and the floor was only about four feet below him, so he stuck out his hands to break his fall and was able to land on his feet.

The fan didn't get the ball after the tumble, but another fan gave him the ball, and he was so grateful that he bought that other fan a beer. Classy move on both sides.

Evan Longoria Down, Rays Out?

Evan Longoria has a partially torn hamstring. He’ll miss at least four weeks and as many as eight while he rehabs the injury. His team is left with a slim four-and-a-half game lead on last-place Boston and two months without their star. Their internal options may not seem scintillating, but they could do just enough… provided Longoria can return healthy. First, let’s set the...
