Fight Breaks Out Over Foul Ball That Lands in Trash Can During Tampa Bay Rays Game (Video)

If you go to a Major League Baseball game and walk away with a baseball, that's a pretty clear win. But is a foul ball really worth fighting over?

Apparently the answer to that question is "yes" for a couple of fans in attendance at Saturday night's game between the Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland Athletics.

According to SportsGrid, Rays shortstop Sean Rodriguez hit a foul ball down the right-field line that landed directly in a trash can and sent fans scrambling to go in after it.

One fan was reportedly ejected and security at the stadium decided that the ball should stay in the trash can, where nobody could get to it. Check out the video of the incident below via SportsGrid.
