Photographer Tony Capobianco is enjoying his fifteen minutes of fame right now. But it’s probably not the way he would have drawn it up.

The part-time sports photographer was behind home plate at Wednesday’s Red Sox game when an errant ceremonial first pitch nailed him right where the sun don’t shine.

Capobianco seemed to be in good humor about the incident, posting on Twitter the photo he took right before he was struck with the ball.
