In case you missed our Top 10 list from earlier this week:

Our names may never be in a box score, nor will we be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t be apart of baseball. The past twelve months have allowed many of the millions of baseball fans to take part in the game whether they like it or not. Luckily for us, television cameras and phones with video are everywhere to capture the moment. Here are PRO Rumors’ Top 10 moments involving fans as caught on video:

#10 – Orlando Cabrera – the $2.02 million bat boy

At the time of this video, Orlando Cabrera was not an active player (DL for an oblique straing), so technically he’s a common person like.  In August he donned a “BB” jersey and was the team’s bat boy for the day.

Check out video of the $2.02 million team assistant: http://www.prorumors.com/2010/08/rumors/video-orlando-cabrera-the-2-02-million-batboy/

#9 – Fan running on field stopped by Braves Matt Diaz

Diaz took move out of the Karate Kid movie by sweeping the leg of this unfortunate fan.

#8 – Drunk Daytona Cubs fan Tasered

Check this video of drunk fan being tasered at a Single-A Daytona Cubs game from July. It happens about the 0:28 mark:  http://www.prorumors.com/2010/07/rumors/video-drunk-daytona-fort-myers-cubs-fan-tasered/

#7 – Teacher at San Francisco Giants game throws horrible first pitch on FOX

I probably would do no better in the same situation.  It’s a lot of pressure.  Here’s the video:  http://blog.prorumors.com/2010/05/rumors/video-teacher-at-san-francisco-giants-game-throws-horrible-first-pitch-on-fox/

#6 – Oakland A’s ballboy woos girl with his balls

This is the type of stuff that sets the scene in romantic comedy movies.  I’m not sure of the two are still dating, but hopefully he’s still using the gimmick to line up dates.  Guys take notes from this video:  http://www.prorumors.com/2010/08/rumors/foul-ball-friday-oakland-as-ballboy-woos-girl-with-his-balls/

#5 – Fan running around field at Camden Yards during Orioles game

Most of the time, there’s no place for this in baseball, but I thought this never ending run was hilarious.  http://blog.prorumors.com/2010/07/rumors/video-fan-running-around-field-at-camden-yards-during-orioles-game/

#4 – Tampa Bay Rays fan gets three chances at a foul ball in an inning

I’ve been to hundreds of baseball games in my life, and I have yet to bring home a foul ball (for the record, I had one tossed to me while I sat in the stands).  This fan had three chances and took home two.  http://blog.prorumors.com/2010/07/rumors/video-fan-running-around-field-at-camden-yards-during-orioles-game/

#3 – Will Ferrell aka Rojo Johnson ejected from Round Rock Express game in pro debut

Oh Will Ferrell…  You’ve made a basketball movie, an ice skating movie, a NASCAR movie, so when are we going to see a baseball movie?  If this video is any indication of what we could expect then I’ll be camping out on opening for it.  http://blog.prorumors.com/2010/05/rumors/comedian-will-ferrell-aka-rojo-johnson-ejected-from-round-rock-express-game-in-pro-debut/

#2 – The Phillies taser incident

We all remember this one where the Phillies fan was inappropriately subdued by a policeman at Citizens Bank Park.  http://blog.prorumors.com/2010/06/rumors/video-of-phillies-fan-tasered-as-he-runs-onto-field/

#1 – Boyfriend lets his girlfriend get hit by a foul ball

Gentleman, this is one way to find yourself in the doghouse.  Watch, but don’t imitate. http://blog.prorumors.com/2010/08/rumors/video-foul-ball-couple-at-houston-astros-game-decide-to-break-up/

Honorable Mention:
PRO Rumors fortunately was the first to provide exclusive video of Eric Byrnes (as a common citizen) hitting a home run for the Dutch Goose slow pitch softball team. This video is what put PRO Rumors on the map. Thank you for your support in 2010 and your continuing support in 2011 and beyond.
