Watch: Cool-headed MLB fan nabs home run ball with one-handed catch while holding baby

July 26, 2018

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco may have had a big night with the bat against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, but it was a fan catching one of his home runs that stole the show.

Franco launched his second home run of the game in the bottom of the ninth over the left field fence at Citizens Bank Park which a fan rose up from his seat to take with a stunning one-handed catch across his body.

However, it wasn't until he turned around to show off his triumphant catch that it was revealed why he went to such awkward lengths to nab the ball with his right hand - he was holding a baby in his left hand as well.

Unfortunately for the excited fan and his child, the home run didn't change the final result with the Dodgers winning the game 7-6.
