Some baseball fans are lucky enough to leave the ballpark with a foul ball, and a select few over the years have even caught a stray bat -- but have you ever heard of catching a base?
Shortly after being tossed from Sunday's game, Lancaster Barnstormers manager Butch Hobson decided the only way to express his anger was to grab, autograph and gift a base for one fortunate spectator.
In the fourth inning, infielder Gilberto Mejia dragged a bunt up the first-base line and was called out on a bang-bang play. Mejia immediately argued and was tossed by umpire Chris Rick. Not far behind was Hobson, who decided if Mejia couldn't have the base he felt he earned, no one else on the field should have it either.
And another lucky fan gets a souvenir...
