Fan protects nachos from sure destruction with nice bare-handed catch

By Matt Monagan

How far would you go for your nachos?
One intrepid fan, during the Marlins' 4-1 win over the Braves on Sunday, put his body on the line for his sweet cheesy goodness. Derek Dietrich lifted a high pop foul down the third-base line and this man reached out -- with no glove, mind you -- to save his seatmate's fare from certain annihilation. 

A real hero. And if you thought we were exaggerating when we said "certain annihilation," think again.
