Elliot Johnson plays catch with a fan

This certainly is unique. Getting Blanked brings us this video of Rays utility infielder Elliot Johnson playing catch with some fans before Tampa Bay's 13-3 blowout win over the Red Sox.

What lot/section? RT @chrisbelltb: @elliotjohnson9 We are in the lot, we have chairs waiting you want to come out, maybe play catch?

Johnson ended up pinch hitting and striking out in the game, The most amazing part is that Johnson wasn't doing that at something like 4 PM...a picture of Johnson with one of the fans is stamped as being tweeted by Johnson at 6:27 PM, or less than an hour before first pitch. Now that's dedication to your fans, folks.
