Where's My Pizza?

This is a funny video brought to my atttention by the fine folks at Deadspin.com. It shows a guy going for a foul ball in yesterdays Redsox - Angels game. Instead of getting the foul ball he gets some beer spilled on him, the ridicule from his friends for not catching the ball, and of course the mandatory Pizza slice thrown at him for missing the ball. Oh you didn't know if you miss a foul ball at a baseball game someone gets to throw a piece of pizza at you, well in Boston that is the case.

According to Deadspin:

Basically, the guy who missed the ball and received the pizza toss had, earlier in the game, been mocking the pizza tosser for eating a pizza in the stands. So when he missed the foul ball, all was fair game

The video is below and is pretty entertaining. The announcers spend a good four minutes talking about the incident and the visual of the guy throwing the pizza is great. About 1:45 into the video is when you get the slow-mo shot of "The Throw."
