A New York Yankees superfan takes his fandom so seriously that he delayed attending his sister's wedding to go to a baseball game.

We've all seen fans at sporting events try to match the competitors on the field from time to time. As the ball flies toward them, they make valiant efforts to grab a souvenir. Some are armed with gloves, while others choose instead to duck and cover...
