Of all the perks that come with being a young ballboy, I'd have to guess that getting the chance to exprience some personal interaction with major league ballplayers ranks atop the list.
Yes, even if that means having one of them jokingly throw things at you after you boot a play down the left field line. Watch what happened to this Tampa Bay Rays ballboy after he bucknered a foul grounder in front of Livan Hernandez and the Atlanta Braves bullpen.

Some people out there might see it differently, but that actually had to be a good feeling for the ballboy, who I really hope is named David. (Get it?) Livan's attempt at a high five shows he clearly was joking and being treated like one of the boys is a lot better than receiving stony silence from the professionals.
Not a bad tip on top of getting to watch a MLB game from one of the best seats in the house.
