Catching a grand slam is an exciting moment for any baseball fan.

Unless, of course, it comes at the expense of your favorite team.

A young Tigers fan learned that lesson Tuesday night.

The Tigers held a 3-1 lead over the Athletics in the top of the eighth when Ben Zobrist came to the plate with the bases loaded. He drilled a grand slam into left-center field and right into 8-year-old JD Schilp's glove.

After an initial moment of pure joy, excitement, and every other good feeling in the world, Schilp's demeanor quickly changed when he realized that the Tigers were now trailing 5-3.
