This season has not gone according to plan for the Miami Marlins. But fear not, Marlins fans. The team may be in shambles, but you, the fans, are in great shape.

It was a good second day of school for the 2012 Boston Red Sox, Version 2.0. It was a better day for one member of Sox Nation, who left Fenway Pahk with a free souvenir she apparently was waiting for her entire life. Did she catch a foul ball or win an Academy Award? Watch and judge for yourself, after the jump.

There are two kinds of baseball stadium dads. The kind that drop their kids when a foul ball approaches, and the kind that don’t. This guy gets special appreciation for being in the latter category AND making a barehanded snag in the process.

Oh, God. You know what guy, it would’ve been cool if you had put down the phone and been a little humble about the really cool thing you just did. If you had been excited about the catch, instead of continuing the conversation you were having on your cell phone, we could all enjoy in the awesome moment you just had in front of America. But no, you had to be a dick about. Yes, yes, we see the ball, you don’t need to hold it up. Okay. Yep, that will be all. Thank you.

It’s one of the thrills of going to a baseball game: the potential of catching a foul (or home run) ball. Sure, the odds aren’t too good, but the mere chance that you could take home a souvenir from the actual game itself, for free, is enough to get many people’s hopes up to the point that they’ll bring a glove to the game, just in case. And while such people get made fun of plenty, during one instance at last night’s Yankees-Orioles game, it might have helped if a couple fans brought them.

An unexpected New York Yankees fan took a foul ball to the face on Saturday, and it happened to occur in the exact same location that another Yankees fan was struck back in June.

As we’ve seen in the past, all bets are off when it comes to catching a foul ball. It doesn’t matter if you have to let go of your own kid to get your hands on one: people become savages when that little white orb of rubber and leather is bouncing around near them.
