Foul ball just bounced off a wall and into the beer cup of a fan who then, as the law requires, chugged the beer. #Minor LeagueBaseball

There’s been a terrible run of fans at baseball games risking their kids’ lives for the sake of a goddamn souvenir. But one man at Tuesday night’s Inland Empire 66ers game showed everyone how make a catch with some class.
As you can see below, there were no children involved and no near-death trauma — just a beer cup and some fortunate placement by fan, Alex Deantunano:

Props to the guy for no spillage while taking that beer down.
And judging by the response from the 66ers’ Twitter account, that catch more than made up for the team’s 1-0 loss.
66ers fan practices tradition by catching foul ball in beer cup and proceeding to drink it! https://t.co/tf9a4oVjpX #SCtop10
