Rangers fan wears nacho cheese thanks to Prince Fielder foul ball

When pondering the perfect ballpark experience, for many of us that vision includes enjoying a large plate of nachos and cheese, watching our favorite team win the game, and above all else catching a game used baseball.

Of course, in reality, we know two out of those three coming true is about the best we can truly hope for, with the whole catching a baseball thing a distant fantasy. However, for one fan of the Texas Rangers on Thursday, the nachos and the baseball were literally in her lap just as she was taking her seat during the first inning of their game against the Boston Red Sox.

It was a dream scenario, only it wasn't, because like we said, the nachos and baseball were literally in her lap.

The timing was a just a little off, which left her unprepared to make a play on Prince Fielder's foul ball. Instead, the baseball bounced off her plate and the plate literally exploded, sending nachos and cheese flying everywhere, and the baseball rolling at her feet.

It's not clear who ended up with the ball, but we can safely say that was a dream scenario turned nightmare.

To her credit though, the fan appears to be in good spirits in the immediate aftermath despite having cheese dripping from her hair and an accelerated heart rate.

When looking at the situation from a broader perspective, perhaps there's a greater power in play here, or at least a bigger lesson to be learned. That lesson would be to never bring nachos into a ballpark that's also housing Prince Fielder. One way or another, he'll find them. Whether he's stealing one for himself as he did during a game in 2013, or destroying your plate, he'll make sure you can't enjoy those nachos.

Oh, and it should be noted the Rangers did lose Thursday's game 5-1, so unless a kind fan gave her the baseball, she likely settled for a second plate of nachos and nothing else resembling a perfect ballpark experience.
