For most of us, getting up from our seat at the ballpark to make a trip to the concession stand means we're abandoning the chance to catch a foul ball for a few minutes. Some have tried using full food trays as foul ball receptacles in the past, but they learned their lesson the hard way.
A Royals fan at Monday's 2-0 win over the Angels probably thought this when he left to grab some food and a fresh beer in the fourth inning. Upon heading back to his seat, however, a foul ball presented itself to him ... but both hands were full, one with a tray of pretzels, hot dogs and the like and the other with the aforementioned beer.
No matter. This dad effortlessly caught the ball on a ricochet in his new beer. The most amazing part? It doesn't seem like the beer spilled that much at all, somehow:
He may not have downed the entire beer in celebration, but we'll allow it. His display of dexterity and lack of food or beer spillage were both very impressive.
