'Nacho man' fan who fell chasing home run ball gets chips, pizza, ball from Reds pitcher, wife
"Nacho Man" got his baseball — chips.
The man who consoled a young Cincinnati Reds fan at Great American Ball Park after losing his nachos and failing to come up with Eugenio Suárez's sixth-inning home run ball Thursday afternoon was embraced by many Twitter users who watched the video.
One of them — the wife of Reds relief pitcher Lucas Sims — offered him a ball for his valiant though likely painful effort.
"Oh goodness, *nacho man* if you see this - DM me and @LSims_ will get your son a ball," Dani Sims wrote Twitter, which was retweeted by the Reds' official account.
Sims later tweeted an update saying they had found Nacho Man.

From Lucas Sims:
Aaaaand some Tostitos, of course, were on their way for Richie Jones, who has embraced his nickname — and couldn't be a better sport about all of it:
Several media outlets poked fun at the so-called "nacho man" in sharing the video. But with any luck, something better than the Reds' 14-11 loss in 10 innings will come from the man's pursuit of the ball and attempt to make the young fan's day.
Last week, a fan at a Los Angeles Dodgers game was splattered with nacho cheese as he caught Dodgers infielder and former Reds minor-leaguer Justin Turner's home run.
