Fan at softball game heroically snags home-run ball, promptly falls out of pickup truck

Things were going so well for this fan at Southern Arkansas University's softball game against Arkansas Tech on Monday. Not only was he hanging out in the sun and watching a ballgame, but in the bottom of the fifth, he even came away with a souvenir -- reeling in a home run thanks to an impressive leaping grab.
Alas, it was at this point that our hero forgot one of life's truisms: The pride always comes before the fall out of the bed of the pickup truck.

Don't worry, he was OK -- and, judging by his reaction, still pretty pumped to be going home with a softball.
