Catching a baseball with your bare hand at a game is difficult under any circumstance.
Imagine how difficult it is while you have your baby strapped to the front of you and a drink in your other hand?
Well, that scenario was not too difficult for one Los Angeles Dodgers fan on Sunday afternoon, as he made an incredible bare-handed coach on a foul ball during a game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Just watch this.

Tremendous.
First of all, those baseballs hurt. That is basically a rock flying at you at who-knows-what speed and you are reaching for it without the protection of a glove. You run the risk of broken bones or at the very least a very sore hand for a few minutes (or hours).
Not only that, the kid is completely unharmed while also looking some combination of unimpressed and confused about its existence in that moment.
As the final drizzle of icing on top of that cake, the proud father did not even seem to lose a drop of his drink. Considering the price of drinks at a baseball game these days -- and especially at Dodger Stadium -- that is another win all on its own.
He also seemed to snag the ball in front of another fan who was holding another child, which kept everybody safe.
Cheers to you, noble baseball fan. Enjoy your moment on the replays. You certainly earned it.
