Baltimore Orioles Fan Makes One Of Best Foul Ball Catches Of All-Time

Published|Updated

There's nothing quite like heading to the ol' ballpark and snagging a foul ball. But making an amazing snag on that foul ball, especially when it's caught on TV, is one of the best possible outcomes. 

That's exactly what happened to a Baltimore Orioles fan who was inexplicably standing by himself way out in the right field stands. 

Cleveland Guardians hitter Josh Naylor clubbed a foul ball that looked headed for the concourse at Oriole Park. 

But there was one lone gentleman standing out there. He was holding both a beer and his phone and somehow managed to reach over a railing and make a one-handed, bare-handed grab.

It's arguably the best catch I've ever seen a fan make, with all things considered. The broadcasters were even confused, assuming he used his hat or something else to make the grab. 

A Baltimore Orioles fan made one of the best foul ball catches ever after a Cleveland Guardians hitter clubbed a ball into the upper deck. 

Breaking down the tape here, there are so many layers. Why is that guy sitting by himself out there? How did he manage to pop out of his seat, shift both his beer and phone into the same hand and grab a flying baseball? 

The guy clearly made a great choice in going with the bottle of beer rather than draft, because I don't think he pulls this off while trying to hold a cup.

Mad respect, also, for not bringing a glove to a Major League Baseball park. 

Don't at me on this, but it's not acceptable for adult males to bring baseball gloves to games. I'll set the max age at 15, and even that's pushing it. 

Ideally, the cutoff for bringing a baseball glove to an MLB game is high school. Once you enter high school, it's time to catch the ball with your bare hands. 

This guy did it and look how much cooler it was? Bravo, sir.
