SEATTLE - A young baseball fan in Seattle reminds us about how exciting baseball can be... well for a teenage girl after a run-in with a star.
According to MLB.COM 17-year old Aris Skinner was trying to get out of the way after Mark Teixeira hit a foul ball towards the right field wall.
Skinner ducked as Suzuki attempted to make a play on the ball but his extended arm collided with the fan. She was unhurt and Suzuki asked if she was ok, then went back to his position.
The television crew left the camera on the young fan and caught nothing short of a priceless reaction.
Watch the video on MLB.COM to see a big smile, and excitement you'd typically associate with a concert.
Skinner later told a Japanese reporter "It was awesome, I am literally starstruck."
Skinner was given a baseball and Ichiro jersey later in the game.
