Memorial Day Weekend, Beer, Hotdogs, and the Ballpark! But this
story gets even better!
The beer guy was doing his job. Sixth inning of Philadelphia
Phillies vs LA Dodgers, Phillies up 5-3. Carlos Ruiz of the Phillies was up to
bat, facing Dan Haren, pitcher for the LA Dodgers.
The count is 2 balls and 2 strikes when Ruiz hits a foul ball
down the first base side. Fans were eagerly awaiting the foul ball to hit their
glove, but the beer guy comes through!
Earl Chaney, a beer vendor at Citizens Bank Park since 2004, was
hit by a ball before but never caught one! Chaney gave the ball to a little
girl and carried on with his job, but received a standing ovation for his
unintentional work.
The Phillies went on to win the game!
