He lost both meals, but gained one great souvenir.First, the fan lost his container of fries as he chased down a foul ball in San Francisco on Wednesday. He ended up getting the ball, and he held it up proudly for all to see.Then later on, the fan had a chance at another foul ball, which was hit in his direction. This time, the fan falls backward, losing his pizza in the process. He didn't get the ball that time.The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the San Francisco Giants, 1-2.<doc-sep>Depending on your perspective, this Los Angeles Dodgers fan is either blessed by the baseball gods or a victim of circumstance. Most baseball fans go their entire lives without the opportunity to catch a foul. One fan had the good fortune of seeing two come his way during his team’s tough 2-1 loss against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. What could be wrong with that, you ask? He had his hand full with food both times. Our hero in the blue Corey Seager jersey had a container full of french fries when the first foul ball headed his way. His priority was clear. Fan chooses baseball over food He cradled his fries in his right arm while making a barehanded effort to catch the ball with his left hand. When he failed to make the highlight-reel snag, it was time for the fries to go. He dumped his fries over the seats in front of him while battling with other fans for the fallen ball. Fortunately for his effort, he came up with the prize for his sacrifice. Another baseball, another snack Later in the game our hero, still hungry after losing his fries, made a menu change, opting for what looks like pizza. And another foul ball came his way. He used a similar same strategy this time, holding his pizza in his right hand while attempting to snag the ball with his left. Again, he failed to make the catch, and the ball bounced across the aisle, likely into the hands of a competing fan. If you’re keeping score, he’s up one baseball and down an order of fries and a slice of pizza. What's more valuable — ballpark fries or a foul ball? (Getty) We’re not sure exactly where he got his food, but if he ordered the garlic fries popular at Oracle Park, he’s down $8.95, according to pricing in a Yelp review. We didn’t find pizza pricing, but will conservatively estimate that a slice costs the same amount as the fries. Was it worth it? By that math, he’s down at least $18. But he got a baseball. And some video footage for posterity. But we’re guessing if he had it to do over again, he would have held on to his pizza and let his friend sitting next to him go for that second foul ball. Instead, he lost his slice and neither of them came up with ball No. 2. More from Yahoo Sports:<doc-sep>Not the fries! Not the pizza! Fans will do anything to secure a foul ball at a big league game, even sacrifice their dinner. One Dodgers fan at last night’s game against the Giants in San Francisco tried to seize a souvenir in the top of the second and succeeded—though he lost his dinner (fries and maybe a hot dog or a burger) in the process. Was he content with taking home just one foul ball? No, absolutely not. In fact, he wanted another so badly that he was willing to sacrifice his replacement meal (a slice of pizza) when another ball came into his section in the very next inning. This frame is a real renaissance painting. You’ve got the woman drinking champagne at a baseball game (!!! ), wearing white pants and holding the piece of pizza that just fell on her white pants. (In earlier frames, you can see that the pizza plate is soaked all the way through with grease, so you know her pants are completely ruined.) The man in the white Dodgers jersey is clinging to the railing for dear life while the foul ball chaser is dragging him down. The foul ball chaser has been so overzealous in his pursuit that his right leg is in the row behind him. And then there’s the man in the jacket on the right, carefully surveying the situation. I understand losing the fries on the first foul ball. They’re all loose in the container and our man had to make a tricky play on the ball. But dropping the pizza is inexcusable. Any New Yorker knows that you can fold a slice of pizza on a paper plate, and he had plenty of time to prepare himself while waiting for the ball to come down. If he folds that pizza it’s perfectly secure and he maybe gets to take home another foul ball. Shame on Californians. Notice anything about this goal? That’s the equalizing goal scored by the Islanders’ Josh Bailey in the second period against the Hurricanes last night. Does anything stick out to you? How about Brock Nelson giving Curtis McElhinney a pat on the head after the puck went in? The Canes got the last laugh, though, scoring the winning goal in the third to take a 3–0 lead in the series. Maybe let James Dolan stay as far away as possible? A group of Madison Square Garden shareholders has filed a lawsuit claiming CEO James Dolan is way overpaid and spends too much time touring with his goofy blues-rock band. “In 2017, for example, the band performed 50 times in six countries and 41 U.S. cities, an increase from the 32 shows it performed in 2016,” the complaint reads in part. “In late 2017, the band released its sixth album, and is in the process of recording a seventh.” While Dolan is obviously overpaid ($75.6 million over the last three years, $43 million more than any other CEO of a similar company, according to the suit), I’d argue that the shareholders should be happy Dolan isn’t more involved. MSG has succeeded in spite of Dolan, not because of him. He inherited a monopolistic cable company from his father and has been printing money ever since. The trouble starts when he actually gets involved in running a competitive business, like the Knicks. The best of SI This is the inside story of how the AAF burned brightly and collapsed suddenly.

This baseball fan is really losing it over the game. During Wednesday night’s baseball game against the San Francisco Giants, a Los Angeles Dodgers fan tried showing off his catching abilities while going for a foul ball, but ended up losing his food — twice. WOMAN BLAMES TACO BELL NACHOS FOR ALLEGED DRUNK DRIVING INCIDENT The footage of the two epic fails was caught on camera and tweeted out by MLB’s official Twitter. In the first video, the anonymous fan was holding a box of french fries when the foul ball was hit by Russell Martin in his direction, MLB reported. He caught the ball at first before it bounced out of his hand. As he went to get the falling ball, he dropped his full carton of fries. Luckily, the fan managed to retrieve the ball, which had bounced into the seat in front of him. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP “Foul ball > fries,” MLB joked in the tweet. The fan was clearly still hungry after dropping his snack, so he went to get a slice of pizza at the next inning. As luck would have it, another foul ball was launched by Tyler Austin, according to MLB. As he reached for it, he fell backward, dropping his slice of pizza onto the guest in front of him who then pushed it off on the floor.
