Dedicated Giants Fan Jumps into McCovey Cove to Retrieve Home Run Ball

From ditching a cell phone and beer to almost sacrificing two drinks, we've seen people do crazy things to get a baseball at a game, but this one might take the cake. Actually, this one definitely tops everything.

A dedicated fan jumped into McCovey Cove to grab a home run ball at the Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants game on Friday night.

During the bottom of the seventh inning, the Giants' Joe Panik launched a two-run shot to right field off Phillies pitcher Jeanmar Gomez. The ball bounced over the soon-to-be wet fan, and without hesitation, he jumped into the water.
