Baseball fan catches ball while feeding baby

Chicago Cubs fan Keith Hartley has hit the headlines for a stunning crowd catch that has to be seen to be believed.

Hartley, while feeding his seven-month old son with a bottle, effortlessly leaned over a barrier to complete a one-handed take during Chicago’s MLB match against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.

Jason Hammel’s foul ball looked like it may have been caught by Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez but Hartley plucked the ball from his grasp.

As if the catch wasn’t impressive enough, Hartley kept ahold of his son before turning around to celebrate with the crowd.

Often fans are asked to leave the stadium if they interfere with play but it is reported that Hartley was worried about the ball hitting the railing and bouncing into his son.

So Hartley kept his place in the iconic Wrigley Field, watching on as the Cubs won 1-0.
