Fireball! Fireball! Fireball!
There she is, your ideal. (MLB.tv)

To the blond woman in the second row of the upper deck at Wrigley Field wearing the denim jacket, Chicago Cubs T-shirt and aviator sunglasses, who caught a foul ball in her beer cup and then chugged the beer in the ninth inning Saturday afternoon: Were you real, or just a dream? And if you are real, and that really happened, are you ... seeing anyone? Because if you are real and you are seeing someone, and that person is a baseball fan, he (or she) is the luckiest person in the world. You are the grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to win Game 7 of the World Series. Even better — Game 9, if this were 1903, 1919, 1920, or 1921.

There's video. Video, which never lies, says it really happened:

But who are you? How did you do it? Do you understand that it was the greatest play in the history of Wrigley Field by a beer drinker?

Oh, there's good news. Better than good — great. The Chicago Sun-Times found her. They found her! Her name and origin: Krista Dotzenrod from heaven Minnesota.

Chug it, chug it, chug it

“I was told they were amazing seats because you can catch a lot of foul balls,” Dotzenrod, 24, said Saturday night of her seats in the second row near third base. “I was sitting there, and all of a sudden there is a ball in my cup. It fell straight in there. I didn’t know what to do.”

Yes, she did too know. She knocked back her brew, that which had not splashed out, at the urging of the fans around her. It was a Green Line from Goose Island, a local favorite, chased by a Rawlings, signed by commissioner Rob Manfred and fouled off by Yonder Alonso of the Padres. She chugged it, toasted to the Cubs having a great year, and took the ball home after the game — which the Cubs won in 11 innings.

She was a bit hazy on the details in her Instagram post, getting Alonso mixed up with Kris Bryant. He can't be everywhere, miss. No matter. It was a long game and a big beer.

So now what? She's already had a few Internet proposals of marriage, along with some offers of simple, straight-up lifetime devotion. Does any of that intrigue her?

“That is funny to me,” she said. “I am single.”

Not unlike the Cubs fortunes, things are about to change.
