Kyle NewportAug 16, 2015

Javier the Los Angeles Dodgers ball boy tried to make a highlight-reel catch during Sunday's game, but instead, he will likely end up on some blooper reels.

In the top of the fifth inning, Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart sliced a ball down the left-field line. Javier got in position to try to make the catch and jumped for the ball, but he came up empty.

And he tumbled backward over the wall.
