Extraordinary moves for extraordinary times.

Was at a St. Paul Saints ballgame once, where the baseball left the field of play and landed in a beer cup sitting on the ledge in front of a fan. Or rather, knocked over the cup of beer. Cool.

This one -- not so cool. But you have to wonder two things: if the guy had his eye on the ball and saw it coming at him, funny his reaction wasn't to let the phone go and instinctually protect his face.

And the woman to his right, with the glove on her left hand? She had a play on that ball! Perhaps she too was unable to break with convention at a critical time though, unconsciously thinking she'd be a ball hog for reaching in front of him and snagging the bouncer into the stands.

(Or maybe it's just easier to judge critical reactions in retrospect, when the fans really had but a few seconds, if that, to put up their hands.)

Speaking of instincts, convention and sports oddities:

Is this for real ?? How bizarre, how bizarre...
