Fan takes opportunistic selfie with player who fell into stands

A selfie craze has taken over Major League Baseball.

On Tuesday night, a Cleveland Indians fan took perhaps the coolest selfie you'll ever see thanks to the Progressive Field videoboard. Now, just one day later, a fan at Marlins Park in Miami has taken perhaps the most opportunistic selfie you'll see after capturing a quick photo with Arizona Diamondbacks right fielder Brandon Drury.

The unexpected photo op took place in the fifth inning when Miami's Martin Prado hit a pop up into shallow right field that drifted toward the stands. Drury, who was positioned near the line, had plenty of time to race over and make the play. However, he also ended up tumbling over the railing into the stands.

It was a very nice play, but it was quickly overshadowed by a quick-thinking fan named Blake, who took out his camera and made the scene into a selfie.

We know he's named Blake, because he already had those selfies posted to his Twitter feed before the Marlins wrapped up their 4-3 victory.

The photos confirm that Drury had no idea what was going on, which is too bad. Because the only thing that could have made this better was some type of reaction on his part to show he couldn't be one-upped.
