My friend was watching at home and was able to record it for me. In the hundreds of games I have been to, this is the first time I have ever caught a foul ball. Pretty fun.

Looked like a one-handed catch ... bit of bobble, but you got the guy OUT!!!

Nice giving the ball to a child even through it was your first foul ball ever. Nice touch.

How you weren't nominated for ESPN's Top Play, I'll never know. If the reigning champion is a Dad who caught a foul ball while holding his baby, I think you'd have a shot. What's even more impressive is that you saved your gear from damage

Nice catch. The first thing I thought of when I saw the title was the guy who took a foul ball to the front of the lens.....glad you were able to catch it in a more traditional manner.
