I have to rant for a moment. Both on ESPN and on Yahoo! this morning, journalists used the word "unlikely" to describe the man who caught Barry Bonds' 756th home run. Yahoo(exclamation point!) went as far as to label Matt Murphy "the most unlikely fan."
Really?
1) He was at the game and sitting in the outfield.
2) He is a 22-year-old male who appears to be in at least decent physical condition.
Who else was going to come out of that scrum with the ball? Apparently the three-year-old kid sitting behind the plate was more likely to catch the ball than Mr. Murphy. Apparently me sitting in my apartment in Minneapolis had a better shot than the "most likely fan."
