Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez launched a two-run blast to center field just. With the home run ball heading into the stands, one Nationals fan opted to take the ball to his chest over dropping his two beers.
The sequence and scene was funny, commendable and maybe foolish. The fan had a laugh as did the fellow patrons in the section.
Matthew Paras of the Washington Times has a perfectly logical explanation as to why the gentleman would decide baseball to the chest over dropping his beers.
Beer prices at ballparks and stadiums are indeed more than most premiums so it totally makes sense.
