Minor league baseball player's windshield destroyed by his own grand slam

Hitting a grand slam is typically cause for celebration. 

However, it was bittersweet for minor league baseball player Brandon Thomas, who hit a baseball out of the stadium and straight into the front windshield of his own car.

Thomas is an outfielder for the Gateway Grizzles, a minor league baseball team based in Sauget, Illinois, a suburb of St. Louis.

The minors may not pay as well as the majors, but Thomas doesn't seem to mind that he's responsible for repairing his own windshield. 

He tweeted that it was "Definitely worth it!!" – especially because his run helped the Grizzlies beat the Joliet Slammers 17-6.

The proud ball player shared a video of his powerful and coincidental grand slam on Twitter:

Hopefully someone gave Thomas a ride home from the game.

Pirates fan attempts to catch foul ball, catches face full of nachos instead

This is nacho ordinary foul ball.

A dedicated but hungry Pittsburgh Pirates fan who attempted to catch a foul ball during their game at PNC Park against the San Diego Padres wound up catching a face full of nachos, instead.

It appears as though the fan was so captivated by the idea of catching a foul ball hit by Pirates player, Jung Ho Kang, that he forgot he was already holding a beer and a plate of nachos.

Pirates announcers, Greg Brown and Bob Walk, eloquently described the catastrophic scene which played out as, "Nachos. Face full of nachos, cheese and salsa. Beer went flying. That is a classic."

Luckily, the graceful display of true American spirit was captured on camera and replayed in slow motion for all to enjoy.

After the nacho man recovered from his legendary attempt at partaking in sports, he was given a free clean T-shirt to change into, a baseball and a new plate of nachos.
