Athletics ballboy lays out to save bullpen from line drive (VIDEO)

An athletic Athletics ballboy went the extra mile — or at least a few extra feet — to save the A's pitchers and closers from a line drive foul ball screaming towards the bullpen Saturday night.

With the ground ball bearing down on the Oakland players during their game against the Rays, there was little time to react, and the fast-thinking A's ballboy laid out to make a spectacular diving catch and save the night — pristine white uniform be damned.



The extra effort earned fist bumps from all of the A's pitching staff and dirt stains worthy of Mike Trout.

Blue Jays' ballboy flips over railing going for foul ball (VIDEO)

This Blue Jays ballboy goes all out trying to snare a hard-hit foul ball and tumbles over the right field wall into the stands Friday night.

The ballboy (ballman?) with the soul patch didn't snag the ball, but he puts his body on the line to deflect the wayward ball and probably save a couple of slow moving fans from the scorching drive.
