We admire this guy's dedication to making the catch no matter what, but we're sure he's got a sore head after this

We were never aware that the Dayton Dragons, a minor league baseball team attached to the Cincinnatti Reds, had fans, never mind fans that were dedicated enough to put their bodies on the line to get a souvenir from the game.

Despite what should have resulted in an injury, this guy makes a spectacular dive to get the ball, and in the process slams his head off some metal fencing. He looks pretty happy with his catch afterwards, though. We are also fairly sure that he got his jumper from the guy who used to present Blues Clues.

Great hands to hang on to the thing despite taking a severe blow to the head, and if there were any scouts watching in the audience he might be getting a call sometime soon.

Hat-tip to Deadspin for the video
