Baseball: 10 Great Ball Boy and Ball Girl Moments

To help celebrate this holiday weekend, let's take a look at the men and women who help make this country great.

They're the unsung heroes who do their job day-in and day-out with little or no fanfare.

I'm talking about all those who spend hours, sitting on a small wooden stool, just waiting for their moment to shine.

Here are ten moments for all the ball boys and ball girls out there.
