Dodgers ballboy tumbles over wall for foul ball, hangs head in shame (VIDEO)

Being a ballboy may look like a fun, simple job. Sitting near the baseline, watching the players close-up and wearing official team uniforms.

And this Los Angeles Dodgers BB apparently takes the job seriously and went tumbling over the third base wall after a wayward foul ball Sunday to prove it.


But, after failing to come up with the catch, he seems to be looking for a place to hide.



There's no shame in putting in the maximum effort my man. Just look at the Dodgers fan giving you props with a fist-pump salute.

Brian Wilson's lookalike has awesome reaction to pitcher's strikeout (VIDEO)

After a long rain delay, the Dodgers still found themselves down two runs in the late innings of Monday night's game with the Nationals. 

When the game resumed, Brian Wilson and his famous facial hair came in to pitch the bottom half of the seventh and surrendered two hits and issued a walk, but struck out the side to get out of a bases-loaded jam.

And nobody was more ramped up to see The Beard than Wilson's doppelganger sitting directly behind home plate at Dodgers Stadium.
Wilson's bearded lookalike went absolutely bonkers after the pitcher got the final strike.


Yup. The power of The Beards.

Vin Scully calmly calls an earthquake at Dodger Stadium during Freeway Series (VIDEO)

Vin Scully was calling the Freeway Series between the Dodgers and Angels when an earthquake shook Dodger Stadium Friday night.

Like a chill SoCal dude, the legendary announcer calmly continued his play-by-play commentary of the sixth-inning earthquake like he was calling a routine baseball grounder.

"A little tremor in the ballpark," Scully told viewers as Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis waited for a pitch from Garrett Richards of the Angels. "I am not sure if the folks felt it but we certainly felt it here in press-box row. A tremor and only that, thank goodness."



According to the U.S. Geological Survey, that "little tremor" was a magnitude 5.1 earthquake that occurred at 9:09 p.m. PT and was centered near Brea in Orange County. The quake produced over 20 aftershocks and caused some serious damage throughout the area.



The game went on without incident.

The unflappable 86-year-old Scully later recounted the massive 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the Bay Area — which occurred just before a game of the World Series — and expressed concern for the lights guy.

Here's a fan's call from the stands.
