Red Sox fans reach for a home run ball in the perfect baseball photo

Sometimes, a photographer captures the perfect moment.

At Thursday night's Red Sox-White Sox game at Fenway Park, Matt Stone of the Boston Herald did exactly that. As one Twitter user aptly put it, Stone's photo is a Norman Rockwell painting for 2017.

The scene of fans seated at Fenway Park's Green Monster, reaching for a ball after a first-inning home run by the Red Sox's Rafael Devers, couldn't be more perfect. From the fans in their jerseys, mitts at the ready; to the woman desperately reaching over the wall; to the men dressed in polos and button-downs, all lined up to jump in; this is a memorable frozen moment.

"What made this photo so different is I kept the frame really wide so you can see the kid with the ball appearing to be almost on top of his head and you can see the expressions on the faces of the other fans. You can see the kid with the glove almost catching it," Stone said about his photo.

Of course, Twitter quickly took note of the scenic shot. And the Green Monster provided the perfect background.
