Every day is a day filled with a certain degree of shame for ballboys, but the other night, the Tampa Bay Rays ballboy experienced a humiliation of unprecedented heights at the hands of Livan Hernandez and the Atlanta Braves bullpen. When the youngster whose emotional intelligence is still in the developmental stages and whose self-esteem is at its most vulnerable let a foul ball skip under his glove, he was met by the Atlanta relief corps with a shower of sunflower seeds and a stream of verbal abuse that harkens back to the John Rocker era. What you don't see in the video is the ballboy crying himself to sleep on the shower floor later that night.
