Padres fan catches foul ball in beer cup at Petco Park
One fan at Tuesday night’s game between the San Diego Padres and the Atlanta Braves at Petco Park got lucky and ended up on camera after a fun moment.
Early in the game, a young woman caught a foul ball — that flew high up in the stands behind home plate — in her beer cup and proceeded to stand up and raise her drink while everyone at the stadium cheered. Delighted, she then chugged her beer while keeping the ball in the cup and again put her drink in the air before dancing in celebration.
The Padres ultimately lost the game 14-1, but the fan definitely was at the center of a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
