Deadspin
We've never been fortunate enough to grab a baseball at a game, but if we did, we suspect we'd jump around and act the fool for whatever camera happened to be within eye's reach. We'd be that excited. One thing you can guarantee, though, is that we'd hang onto the damned ball. Unlike this Red Sox fan at the Patriots Day game yesterday.
This guy embarrassed himself so thoroughly that he now has a site devoted to him, kind of. Whatever scorn this guy receives, he totally deserves.

He did get to go to the pound after he dropped the ball though.
Reason #256,778
It's too bad that protective railing was there for him to bash his hand against and not absent for him to tumble over to his demise. Tragic, really.
It would have been funnier if he had fallen over the railing.
After the drop celebration? Really? "Dude, I'm a fucking klutz. Fist pump!"
Guy In Lower Section: "Yeah, right, I'm totally handing this back to you. Let me get out of my seat and meet you near the concessions stand."
FIST POUND BRO. I RAWK!
Carl Everett still has a job?
Sully knew he'd regret masturbating in the stall in between innings
Someone should do this at Wrigley with a SARS filled Faberge Egg.
John Kruk sympathizes.
20 seconds earlier he knocked over Theo Epstein's priceless vase that was on the ledge.
If the Sox win another Series, I hope they forgive him and let him throw out the first pitch.
Are we sure there wasn't a black guy who happened to be in the section below?
Take that, jersey-under-the-new-yankee-stadium conspiracy theorists!!
If only somewhere there were a benevolent cat wizard who could help him...

Unlike this Red Sox fan at the Patriots Day game yesterday.
I'm sure he caught the 18 before that flawlessly.
@Civil Negligence: ...really, though?
Finally we see what Supermike looks like.
The contest is over. Red Sox Nation has found their Court Jester. He forever will be known as "The Douche Clown".
deserves it for all that gloating he did.
Another fine graduate from the Mo Vaughn Defensive Academy.
I applaud him for not leg-whipping a little kid to get to the ball.
He was just doing his Milton Bradley impression. No big.
@Chief Wahoo: Did you predict he was going to drop that?
Please send this video to Marty Brennamen. I think we have a new "Most Obnoxious Fans" in baseball.
@Doug Llewelyn, Court Reporter:
So now we know Marty Brennaman's screen name.
D'OH!

And your new spokesperson for the Butterfinger candy bar is...
@MeSoHornsby: Boo this man!
He was nervous because Mrs. Ted Kaczynski was sitting just behind him to the left. She was strangely stroking something, probably an explosive device. I don't blame the guy.
@Chamomiles Davis: I was about to say, Bartman wishes he had this guy's hands.
This is not the first time he has dropped something. You should see the scars on his kids' heads.
Maybe he thought he heard someone yell "hot potato".
Bad Catch Fella being Bad Catch Fella
He could take this to another level of douchiness by filing a law suit to get the ball back that he possessed for 20 seconds before he dropped it and someone stole it.
Maybe he was still disoriented from being power-bombed over the rails at Yankee stadium this weekend.
On the plus side, Matt Millen is now considering using a draft pick on this guy.
@Weed Against Speed: Or "cold spaghetti."

Man, Chuck Knoblauch let himself go.
It pains me to even type this but Tony Romo sympathises with this guy.
To complete the circle, a hawk should drop a half dead vole on his head.
Come on...all these comments and not one mention of Buckner. I guess it was too easy.
i have a manny foul ball, so there.
HE THREW IT AT A BLACK GUY RACIST DOUCHE SIMMONS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I am so smart.
I am so smart.
S-M-R-T.
I mean, S-M-A-R-T.
/drops ball
The Pirates would like to know how he handles a bat.
@BarrySagittarius: This is Boston.
I think you mean W-I-C-K-E-D S-M-A-H-T
