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.
