When the San Diego Padres played the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday, the game was far from exciting to some people. Padres fans watched the Braves completely pummel the home team, winning 14-1. But if things were seeming predictable, that changed when a foul ball flew into the stands.
The Braves' Ender Inciarte hit the foul high into the stands, where a woman named Gabby DiMarco sat, casually sipping her beer, CBS Sports reports. She was shocked when the ball flew her way, and she caught it right in her beer cup.
But that amazing feat wasn't the end of it. DiMarco stood up and held the cup high above her head in triumph, laughing at the random lucky catch. She drew huge applause from the stands, but what got her even more recognition was what she did next.
She proceeded to chug the entire beer -- with the ball still in it.
DiMarco's friends and fellow spectators whipped out their cellphones to film the celebration. Videos of her baseball chug went viral, with thousands retweeting Petco Park's tweet. People were in awe with DiMarco's catching -- and drinking -- talents, with one person using the hashtag "Somebody marry this girl now."
When she finished downing the beer, DiMarco proudly held up her cup. It was completely empty except for the MLB game ball she got to take home. The game itself might not have been so memorable, but this baseball -- and beer -- fan is.
Obviously too few baseball fans on this thread...
it’s a known rule of baseball that if a foul ball lands in your beer you must immediately drink the beer.
I want to MARRY that woman!
Since we're all tired of lying Democrats and whining Republicans.
How good is She with Garden Hoses?
Hawt!!!!
LOL!
I doubt the swill they sell at a game has enough alcohol to do anything.
No-one comments on the incredible pun, “no bad hops there!”??
I saw the video on this morning’s news. It may have hit something first, then landed in her beer.
GREAT baseball moment!
I’ll drink to dat!
Depending in the ballpark you can find 7% craft beers
That’s why she put alcohol on it!
All the more reason to marry this girl. She's not afraid of germs getting in her mouth.
She truly is a hero for our time ... and 100% Not Guilty™.
Petco Park has fantastic craft beer vendors all over the place. My wife & I just took in two Mets games last month.
...and this passes for noteworthy news these days.......
