Sometimes, the people doing duty on the sidelines outshine the players.

A ballboy in a Major League Baseball game in the United States pulled off a stunning catch on the foul line (video above). But take a look closely and you'll notice there's more to the catch – the young ballboy almost surely saved a young fan from injury too.

And it's not the first time. Here's another ballboy from the same team (Minnesota Twins) pull off what looks like an even better catch:

But it's not just in baseball. Even tennis legend Roger Federer could not help but be impressed when a ballboy at the net showed amazing reflexes at the Australian Open in 2012.

And of course, even in cricket, sometimes the best catches don't always happen on the field of play.
