Fan goes for a swim at The K to get Humberto Quintero home-run ball

Posted by on Tue, May 8, 2012 at 9:55 AM

The Royals have gotten off to their normally terrible start this season. And their record at home (2-13) is the worst in the majors. So, it would be hard to judge Royals fans like Book Guy (follow him on Twitter!) who find non-baseball ways to amuse themselves while at The K. During Sunday's 10-4 thumping at the hands of the Yankees, one of the few highlights for the home team was catcher Humberto Quintero's home run into the stadium fountains. Despite signs warning spectators that they aren't allowed to frolic in the falling water, one fan threw caution to the wind, shrugged off a security guard and went for a dip to retrieve the ball. Then he was bounced from the stadium. But at least he freed up his afternoon.
