Fan falls into Wrigley Field basket retrieving homer from Royals' Jac Caglianone
One fan at Wrigley Field was determined to bring home a souvenir. A fan dove into the basket at Wrigley Field to get Jac Caglianone's home run ball 👀 🎥 @MLB — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) July 22, 2025 So determined in fact, that the fan fell into the basket above the warning track to grab a home run ball during the Chicago Cubs' series-opening game against the Kansas City Royals on Monday evening. Once he saw the ball was coming towards his direction, he stood up in anticipation for his moment. Then the ball dropped just a few feet in front of him in the chain-linked basket near the warning track. The fan lunged for the ball, tumbling into the basket in the process. He even had to wrestle for the ball with a nearby spectator. That same spectator helped him out of the basket moments later. Advertisement Wrigley Field's basket is one-of-a-kind in baseball. It debuted in 1970 as a response to fans jumping onto the field after wins the year prior. Other teams use mechanisms such as waterless moats or other openings in between the fans and the outfield to discourage fans from making their way to the field. The solo shot to left field came from Jac Caglianone on a 1-2 pitch in the top of the second inning. His home run would give the Royals a 1-0 lead. But for that fan, he got a souvenir and a story to tell coming out of the game
