• The ball struck the netted basket atop Wrigley Field’s ivy-covered left-field wall, prompting a fan to tumble headfirst into the webbing while securing the souvenir.
• Team and stadium medical staff confirmed the spectator walked away uninjured and was later seen high-fiving friends in the stands.
• MLB’s official X account amplified the footage, helping the clip rack up widespread attention across social media platforms.
• Caglianone’s breakout performance has bolstered Kansas City’s midseason push as the Royals outscored the Cubs 12-4.
