As a fan reaches for the ball, Boston Red Sox left fielder Carl Crawford makes the catch on a fly out by Kansas City Royals Eric Hosmer during the 11th inning of a baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston, early morning Tuesday. You write the cutline. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)

Top Cutlines:

  • 1 (& winner of $10 Fort Ground Grill gift certificate) When she told her fairy godmother that she wanted to go to the ball and meet the man of her dreams, this isn’t exactly what Cinderella had in mind -- Idaho Dad.
  • 2. This image taken prior to the contact between fan and player shows what attorneys for Crawford are calling “unfortunate trajectory,” but attorneys for the fan call “an obvious grab for the plaintiff’s breast.” It would have been “unprofessional” and unlike the defendant to forsake ball for breast and the contact was “unintentional,” Crawford retorted in court filings, denying the allegation of giving “even a gentle squeeze” -- Brent Andrews.
  • 3. The Seattle Mariners quickly rush to sign the fan to a contract, thinking that anyone even TRYING to catch a baseball might help them avoid a 17th straight loss in New York today -- JohnA.
