"You gotta have some skills to be a ball boy."
The play of the day might just go to a ball boy. During Thursday's Chicago White Sox-Minnesota Twins game, a Twins ball boy made a great leaping grab on a line drive hit by Alexei Ramirez of the White Sox.
You might have to watch it a few times to get the full effect: Look how he jumps into action, gets some hangtime and makes a good grab, then avoids falling on his stool as he lands. The ball boy acts like it's no big deal afterward, accepting daps from a fan and tossing the ball into the crowd. You mean he doesn't get to keep the souvenir from his own highlight-reel catch?
Our star ball boy also gets a pat on the back from a guy sitting behind him, who you can see trying to shield people from the hard-hit foul ball.
Are you watching, Hooters ball girls? This is how you do it.
Baseball season's in full swing. Don't miss a thing.
