Earlier this month we brought you the video of the man catching a foul ball while holding a baby. That was impressive. But it might be trumped by the guy you’re about to see, who catches a foul ball using only his legs (his hands full of beverages and snacks, mind you).
It happened on Friday at the Blue Jays and Indians game with two outs in the top of the first:
To be fair, he didn’t catch it on the fly (pun intended). Still, it’s quite impressive.

Posted on July 16, 2012 at 10:27pmI don’t care what the “do gooders” had to say badly about baseball in the previous comments, I like to watch baseball. In the park or on TV. I grew-up in Missouri and lived for a few years in Atlanta. The best games for me to watch is Cardinals vs Braves. I root for both teams!!!

Posted on July 16, 2012 at 8:10pmJust about as useful as one too. All I ever see in Baseball is either rapidly running for 20 seconds, or standing around. Doesn’t tickle my fancy.

Posted on July 16, 2012 at 8:54pmAfter paying those high stupid salaries, the stadium bills and the owners cut who can afford to go! Back when they were striking I volunteered to play for $75,000 a year and they pick up the transportation! Apparently if you don’t make 52,000 a pitch or 75 a catch you aren’t considered good enough to play and who wants to watch regular guys out play over paid people anyway?…… I would if the ticket to watch wasn’t a months pay! Heck just trying to pay to watch the Cardinals AA here in town is too expensive so I don’t! If I can‘t eat it I don’t need it! Baseball has become a “rich mans” game as is all of them!

Posted on July 16, 2012 at 9:42amHe didn’t use just his thighs, the ball just rolled down there for him to hold. I sure wouldn’t try to catch a ball there, just a few inches up and you are a soprano :-)
