Angels fan stops at nothing to catch foul ball, crushes elderly lady

May 20, 2014, 9:22 PM | Updated: 9:22 pm

For some fans, there is no obstacle too daunting to keep them from going after a foul ball at a Major League Baseball game.

Rows of seats? No problem.

Gusting winds? No problem.

Apparently for one Los Angeles Angels’ supporter, add an elderly lady to the list.

Draped in a Jared Weaver jersey, the unidentified fan, stopped at nothing to capture a seventh-inning souvenir off the bat of George Springer.

Even if it meant throwing all of his weight on a poor, unsuspecting bystander.

While his all-out effort was rewarded with a pretty inexpensive baseball, the fan’s dignity unquestionably slumped to an ultimate low.

Especially considering his victim can clearly be seen saying, ‘Oh, my shoulder!’

Bad form, bro. Bad form.
