David's expression turns to one of shock, as he utters, "Oh, shit. Oh, David." The crowd erupts in laughter at the young fan's honest mistake.

As the security personnel work to retrieve the ball, David's father places a comforting hand on his son's shoulder. "It's okay, buddy. Mistakes happen," he says reassuringly. David nods, still processing the gravity of his accidental fair catch. The crowd continues to cheer and applaud, appreciating the young fan's honest reaction in the heat of the moment. "That's just a classic fan moment right there," remarks Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay. "You can't help but feel for the kid, but it's also pretty funny." His broadcast partner, David Cone, adds, "Yeah, you can tell he really thought he had snagged a foul ball there. Glad the security was able to straighten it out."
