Call it the summer of foul ball drama: After incidents involving foul balls hitting mascotshitting beer, making kids pout, making kids generous and making kids hysterical, two adults have actually been driven to dig through the garbage and fight over a ball hit into the stands at a Tampa Bay Devil Rays game.

When Rays shortstop Shawn Rodriguez knocked a ball past first base and right into a trash can, one man, without hesitation, dove in to collect his prize. Another man followed his lead and the two nearly came to fisticuffs over who would get the privilege of digging through the Cracker Jack refuse. Security intervened and ruled that neither man would get the ball and it stay put in the garbage for the rest of the game.

Check out the dignified proceedings below:
