Watch: Woman forced to hide in shame after baseball fan picks up a live ball

Scarlet.

FANS WANT TO be part of the game, that’s why we go along to sporting events. To feel that unmistakable connection.

But when you’re right in the front row, it’s possible to get a little too close to the action. And this San Francisco Giants felt the unmistakable burn of flying too close to the sun last night.

With the Giants leading in the seventh inning, he reached down to claim what he thought was a foul ball. It was not a foul ball.

Look, you can pinpoint the exact moment he and his companion realise what an absolute doofus he is.

There’s obviously abuse flying his way from a few seats away, but the fans close to him are being fairly understanding about his error.

However, the woman accompanying him at the game looks to have lost interest four or five innings ago, and her night at the Giants was complete as she buried her head under her hood and followed him out of the stadium after an official had come over to ask him to leave for his fielding efforts.

The Arizona Diamond Backs ended up winning 9 – 7 in extra innings. The worst night of the guy’s life and it was all captured on live TV.
