This has probably happened to you- you're at a sporting event, things are really exciting on the field, but you have an uncontrollable need to get up and get yourself a beer.
That's what happened to Andrew Morbitzer. While 43,000 other fans in San Francisco looked on as Barry Bonds tried for his 715th homer, Morbitzer decided to get up for a beer.
Does that make him a dumbass? Well yeah, but it also makes him lucky. This is because even though he missed Bonds' momentous hit, Morbitzer still managed to be the lucky bastard who caught the ball without even realizing what had happened.
While in line for beer, Bonds hit the ball over center field. It flew out of the reach of the onlookers onto the roof and managed to roll down and drop right into Morbitzer's hands!
Morbitzer has said he's both a Giants and Bonds fan, and only decided to go for a beer because he couldn't see from his seat who was up at bat next.
He hasn't yet said whether or not he will keep the ball or sell it.
