New York Mets v Milwaukee Brewers
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - MAY 05: Jason Vargas #44 of the New York Mets throws a pitch during the second inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park

Even though the Brew Crew ball boy faceplanted, he still lived every kid's dream. He made a great diving grab in foul territory at the game last night. The youngster stretched himself on a hard-hit foul ball and sent the home faithful into a frenzy with his sublime stop. He also likely shielded the young fans in the crowd behind him from a precarious situation.

The Milwaukee Brewers, playing at home, lost the game 7-2 to the New York Mets. It was the first game in a series of three games. While the mood was somber around the American Family Field arena for most parts, the ball boy, however, surely gave the crowd something to cheer about. His heroics early in the fourth inning clarified that he wasn’t there simply to impress. He was also there to live and breathe the game of baseball.
