Fan friendly sports action

In a time when football players in Germany get booked for climbing on fences to celebrate a goal with their fans (which is one the most ridiculous rules in the whole of football) it is always nice to see that some sports still take pride in close contact to their supporters in the bleachers. Here's the footage of a nice play by Manny Ramirez against the Orioles. Ramirez was chasing a long ball, caught it, climbed the wall to high five a fan, spin around to get the ball to 2nd baseman Dustin Pedroia and they get the double play at first. This was fun to watch. The game was eventually won by the Orioles who came back from a 3-0 deficit to turn the game around with a grand slam home run for the final score of 6-3. Anyway, here's the clip:
