No one actually caught it, but there sure was a mad (and violent) scramble for the thing. No doubt some injuries in that dog pile.
I’d say so

I saw that part of the game (on MLB Extra Innings). Someone did catch Barry's 756th HR ball. Young guy in a gray baseball jersey. He was "escorted" out -- actually almost carried out -- by about 10 policemen. The kid was triumphant, as if he just hit the lottery. Which he did, of course...
This pic is after the ball is finished bouncing off the fans and has settled somewhere near the middle of the pic.
The guy in the center with the orange jersey was seated a good 10 rows back from where the ball eventually landed.
He just surfed the crowd.
