They say raising a child takes a village [3], but for one dad, it takes two hands. On Aug. 7, one Philadelphia Phillies fan proved that foul balls and fatherhood go hand in hand . . . literally. During the Phillies game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, a foul ball came flying into the bleachers, but this dad didn't duck or move out of the way while he was holding his baby; he simply put his other hand up and caught the ball. This obviously could be a huge risk for some parents, but according to NBC Sports Philadelphia, he played baseball in high school [4] and college and was confident in his catching abilities. Check out the video above, and watch the reactions from the people around him — you can practically hear the gasps!
