Ballboy bails on liner, hangs onto stool as he falls into stands

Cardinals ballboy bails on liner, falls into stands

The Marlins were already up 1-0 on the Cardinals when Matt Holliday came up to bat in the bottom of the first. As some of the folks were still finding their seats, Holliday sent a hot liner toward the right-field corner where one ballboy was particularly alert if not incredibly graceful.
