Yankees Fan Misses 3 Chances to Catch Foul Balls in One Game

One Yankees fan proved why he’s in the stands and not on the field in pinstripes, dropping not one, not two, but three balls that came his way during Tuesday night’s game.

The unnamed fan, who was sitting in pricey front-row seats along the third base line with a female companion, is getting attention from sportscasters and social media for his failed attempts to haul in a ball during the Bronx Bombers’ game against the Red Sox Tuesday night.

The fan first had to stretch out for a foul ball coming from above, which bounced off his hands. Later in the game, a second foul ball was dinged his way, only to hit him in the forearm before flying back onto the field.

Finally, a ball boy takes pity, tossing a ball to the stone-handed fan. The ball hit the fan in the face as his companion laughs and puts her face in her hands in disbelief.

The fan was able to grab the final ball as a souvenir of his unlucky day.
