The Rangers aren't the only baseball team that sells overpriced nachos in oversized helmets (USA! USA! USA!), so this guy probably wasn't the first person to catch a ball in his. Earlier this season, Andrew Belleson, the PA announcer at Wrigley Field, asked Chicago Cubs fans what they'd do if they were in a similar situation."You’re heading back to your seat […] with a fresh nacho helmet in one hand & a beer in the other. A $30 meal," he tweeted. "As you near your seat, a foul ball makes its way directly towards you in the aisle. Directly. What’s your move?" (The responses were unsurprisingly mixed, but we're siding with anyone whose first instinct is to protect the nachos—and we're also avoiding eye contact with the guy who said he'd "take one on the chest.")
Unless you're trying to catch a home run during the postseason or you're going for a foul hit by the ghost of Jackie Robinson while he was sitting on Roberto Clemente's shoulders, just let it go. Or let a kid try to catch it. Or just let somebody else wreck their own pricey nacho helmet and ruin a stranger's shirt. It's not worth it.
