This made the rounds yesterday. It's too awesome to not give it a go here. This ballboy became an Australian national hero/viral sensation during Rafal Nadal's semi-final win over Roger Federer at the Australian Open. The announcers compare that beautiful snag to Ricky Ponting, a sports reference that virtually no one in the Western Hemisphere understands unless they've read "Netherland" by Joseph O'Neill (he was the captain of the Australian National Cricket Team). The kid has some serious reflexes, someone please put a baseball glove in his hands. Hey, I hear the Mets might need someone cheap.
