For most baseball fans, a dropped home run ball represents a potential once-in-a-lifetime missed opportunity. One young Toronto Blue Jays fan only had to wait five at bats for his chance at redemption.
Blue Jays third baseman Ernie Clement belted a three-run home run to open scoring in the bottom of the second inning of Thursday night's game against the Athletics. The ball, hit to left center, deflected off the young glove-wearing fan, and was eventually retrieved by another fan sitting one row in front of him. The young fan was clearly devastated by his failure to catch the ball.
