SAN FRANCISCO -- Plenty of fans jump at the opportunity to flash the leather from the stands. One Giants fan at Oracle Park took it to another level on Monday.
With Giants rookie Randy Rodríguez on the mound and Phillies star Bryce Harper at the plate in the top of the fifth inning, one fan sitting in the lower bowl had a tailor-made opportunity to bring home a souvenir when a ball was fouled back toward him. The only problem? He was holding a baby in his left arm.
But this fan made it look easy. He reached up and snagged the foul ball off the bat of Harper with his right hand, all while managing to keep the baby aloft with the other.
The baby got quite the front-row seat to the spectacle, and to make a good day even better for the duo clad in Giants gear, the impressive one-handed snag preceded the home team's 8-4 win over the best team in baseball.
