Guardians fans in attendance for Monday's tilt against the Rays went home disappointed after the home team dropped a 3-2 decision and fell to .500 on the year. One Cleveland supporter in particular was on track to go home extremely bummed after coming out on the wrong end of a battle for a souvenir baseball. But then a kindhearted on-air personality stepped in to play hero.
The dramatic vignette began to play out in the fifth inning when Guardians' Daniel Schneemann blasted a two-run homer to the opposite field. At that point a gentleman in the bleachers misplayed the would-be keepsake and it bounded in the direction of a much younger fan. There was a brief struggle before the more experienced Cleveland supporter emerged with possession of the ball.
