WATCH: A's Fan Steals Another Fan's Beer After Losing Foul Ball Tussle
By Ryan Mayer
The Oakland Athletics picked up a 7-4 win over the Minnesota Twins last night at O.Co Coliseum. However, the highlight of the night came outside of the field of play. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Coco Crisp fouled off a pitch down the third base line. Normally, that would go down as a rather unremarkable play among thousands of foul balls that happen every season in the MLB. This foul ball and the scuffle between two fans that ensued wasn't your ordinary occurrence.
Yep, the two fans go for the ball stuck behind the tarp and while one comes up with the ball, the other comes up with his beer. Go ahead, watch it again. The fan in the plaid shirt clearly starts with a beer in hand as he goes for the ball and while he comes back up with the souvenir, he seems to have lost his beverage. That's small solace for the fan in the tan hat who was ejected from the game for entering the field of play shortly thereafter.
