Hooters Ball Girl Mistakenly Fields Fair Ball During Phillies Spring Training
NBC Washington ^ | Mar 12, 2013 | An Phung

Posted on 03/12/2013 8:38:51 AM PDT by oxcart

Spring training is a time during pre-season where players get to practice, play and make mistakes. This year, even the ball girls are getting in on the blunders.

The Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays were in the top of the sixth inning this weekend when Rays' hitter Shelly Duncan hit a ground ball that bounced into left field foul territory.

The ball was ruled fair, but a Hooters ball girl picked it up with her glove and handed it to a fan in the stands.

The embarassing move wasn't a total loss.

"She has no idea that she has interfered with the play," the announcer said. "But she's making a young fan very happy with that ball."

It was a ground rule double because the ball went into her hands.

They let Pujols have a designated runner. Not a pinch runner. He got to bat again when it was his turn.

A ball striking or handled by a ball attendant or umpire is a live ball. I suppose since it “went off” the ball attendant into the stands it’s a ground rule double.

Fenway used to use kids from the high school were Dan Duquette’s son (and my daughter) attended. One kid fielded a ground ball that was ruled fair. The camera caught him sitting there with the most sheepish grin you ever saw. After the end of that half inning, he was relieved and sent home, never to appear on the field again.

Like most teams the Red Sox use female ball attendants these days, and they seem quite capable.

Here in Pittsburgh they started recruiting girls from local college softball teams to serve as ball girls. And often a lot of them make better plays in the field than the Pirates do.

It’s pre-season, so it’s just for funsies........

The left-field ball girl at Citizens Bank Park did exactly the same thing last year during a regular season Phillies game.
