Rizzo's Amazing Balancing Act Nets Ball and Cheering Fans During Cubs Game

CHICAGO - Anthony Rizzo showed the way a fans' player goes into the stands to catch a ball.

During the Chicago Cubs game Wednesday night - Rizzo jumped up on the tarp, leaned way into the stands making a great catch and athletically falls -- upright -- without taking out a fan - or yelling at any fans.

You may recall a less than impressive performance from NYY's first baseman, Mark Teixeira, who chased a foul ball into the stands and couldn't hold on to the ball and further embarrassed himself by yelling at a fan who chased the foul ball he couldn't glove.

"He ran into me," he said, according to a newspaper report. "He really wanted that baseball. I'm all right, thank God."

Yeah, thank goodness you're alright.
