Beer at the World Series is expensive so I understand why fans would choose to get pegged by a ball instead of spilling them.
That’s exactly what happened during tonight’s game 5 when a fan double-fisting beers preferred to get hit in the gut by a home-run ball than to drop his two beers.
What a legend 🤣
This fan was double fisting with 2 beers and took Yordan's home run ball to the gut! pic.twitter.com/9Tfi8uiyhy

Update: Apparently he ended up going home with the ball after all.

Sacrificed his body, didn’t drop his beer, and didn’t throw it back! Random double-fisting dude for the win! #takeitback #weplayloud pic.twitter.com/S2ESQqzD3x
