What do you think felt like more of a victory? Diving down to grab a loose foul ball and coming up with the ball, or diving down to grab a loose foul ball and managing to swindle your opponent's beer? I honestly don't even think it's close. If the triumphant exuberance with which the man in the bucket hat emerges wasn't enough to prove that to you then the disappointment on the face of the guy in the plaid shirt should be. Plenty of people have wrestled away meaningless souvenirs, but there's not too many that can say they yanked an adult beverage clear out of a grown man's hand without spilling the whole damn thing all over the place. Presenting your girlfriend with a foul ball might get you on camera for a few seconds, but swiping away a guy's dignity - in the form of a $9 domestic beer - and raising high in the air before proudly touching it to your lips instantly gets you 15 minutes of fame. One man went down with a beer and ended up catching a ball, and one man went down with nothing and ended up catching a buzz. So you tell me, who was the real winner?
