While much of America learned this week that Washington, D.C., has a professional hockey team, The Scrapbook was reminded that San Diego still has a Major League Baseball team. At the Braves-Padres game at Petco Park, caught on video that quickly became social-media famous, Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte popped a foul ball into the stands. The ball was caught by Padres fan Gabby DiMarco—in her beer cup. Somehow most of the beer stayed in the cup even after the ball landed in it, so DiMarco did the only rational thing she could do: She drank it.

And for that brief moment, we were absolutely certain that America is not in decline.
