It won’t show up on the box score, but one ball boy at Tropicana Field will head into the All-Star break with quite the redemption story.
During Saturday’s game between the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays, the ball boy stationed in front of the Rays’ bullpen squared up to field a routine ground ball foul. With an open bullpen at The Trop, you’re counting on the ball boy to offer some protection. Well, on this particular foul ball, he let the team down.
The ball rolled between his legs, hitting the pitchers seated in the bullpen. You could see the disappointment on their faces. Like, “YOU HAD ONE JOB, KID!”
