Because it's what they do, the Twins on Tuesday night lost a baseball game (BAL 5, MIN 3). Because it's what he does, the Twins' ballboy made a diving snare that possibly saved a fan at Target Field from bodily harm. Here, see for yourself ...

Excelsior! A fine catch, is what that was! That ball off the bat of Joey Rickard had some hair on it, so, who knows, that could've ended badly for one of those grateful fans. Luckily ballboy -- nay, Ball BoyTM -- was there to save the day. Ball BoyTM, you see, is there for those with nowhere left to turn.

Ball Boy saves the day!
