This ballboy deserves a raise immediately.

The ballboy is definitely a position that doesn't get a lot of respect. Most of the time, they're just running after slow moving foul balls that are just out of reach for the first baseman. Occasionally, the ballboy has to be a hero and the other night this ballboy was definitely a hero to one fan.

Orioles right fielder, Joey Rickard,  hits a screamer of a foul ball to the front row first base side. I am glad to see the fan was actually paying attention and not on his cell phone. Even paying attention, this ball would have done some damage to him. Luckily the ball boy was there with a diving catch to save the day.
