Many fans never miss the chance to flash the leather from the stands. One San Francisco Giants fan at Oracle Park took it up a notch on Monday.
With Giants rookie Randy Rodríguez pitching and Phillies star Bryce Harper at the plate in the top of the fifth inning, one fan sitting in the lower bowl, got a life-time opportunity to take home a souvenir, when a ball was fouled back toward him. The shocker? He was carrying a baby in his left arm.
However, the fan made it look easy. He reached up and clinched the foul ball off the bat of Harper with his right hand, all while keeping the baby in place with the other.
The baby got a front-row seat to the event, and a good day got better for the duo as they wore Giants gear. The skillful one-handed catch preceded the home team’s 8-4 victory over the best team in MLB.
