Some guys can't catch foul balls. And others simply don't have any balls.
In a video that has now gone viral across the net, a guy the other night at Minute Maid Park in Houston jumped out of the way of a foul ball hit off the bat of the Houston Astros' Chris Johnson during the 4th inning of a game against Atlanta. The result? The line drive nailed his girlfriend, Sarah.
A FOX announcer covering the game said during a replay on the telecast, ''Chivalry is dead.''
His partner then added, ''Maybe he couldn't catch it, but he screwed her.''
A roving Astros reporter then interviewed the (soon to be ex?) couple on the spot during the telecast while the game was still on. She berated him, too.
The guy's lame excuse? That he, Bo, lost the ball in the lights. Yeah, right, buddy. That's why you jumped out of the way.
''When you lose it next time,'' the reporter told him, ''you should go towards your girlfriend. Protect her. Don't go the other way like a little chicken.''
Sarah told the reporter, ''As soon as we got here and I saw where we were sitting, I said 'Baby, I'm going to get hit.' He said, 'No, you won't. I'll catch it if you do.' We just had this conversation and sure enough, the ball comes at me. He just bailed.''
When the reporter then told Sarah that perhaps that's a foretelling of the future, that her boyfriend won't be at her side, Sarah said perhaps, not so tongue in cheek, ''Maybe I do need to reconsider this.''
