Hold the phone: Happy ending for fan with awful ballpark luck

When someone uses the phrase, "It just fell into my lap," it usually indicates some sort of good fortune.

Well, that wasn't the case for Peter Johnson.

Johnson, a freshman at Washington State, attended the Oakland Athletics game against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday at Safeco Field. When A's third baseman Ryon Healy sent a two-run homer deep into the stands, the ball landed directly in Johnson's lap ... where his phone was sitting.

@Athletics can you guys please buy me a new phone your 2 run shot broke mine pic.
