Fan Flipped Right Over a Railing Trying to Catch a Home Run Derby Ball

When you want something bad enough, you’re willing to put yourself in harm’s way. When you’re in the outfield for the MLB’s annual Home Run Derby, you better be ready to catch some baseballs. MLB sluggers show off their enormous strength by blasting dinger after dinger into the outfield seats, but one of the highlights of the night came from some unknown fan.

Clearly willing to go all out, a fan flipped right over a railing in an effort to catch the ball.

Watch below:

Fan overboard!

We repeat, FAN OVERBOARD! 😲

Not sure if he was intentionally going for the rail flip, but luckily he appeared to avoid major injury.

Hopefully this guy walked away with a ball.

If not, still a great story to tell.
