Tigers Fan Catches 5 Foul Balls at Game, but It's What He Does With Them After That's Making News

It must have been his lucky night.

Detroit Tigers fan Bill Dugan managed to catch five different foul balls during a Monday game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

But, instead of keeping the baseballs for himself, Dugan chose to give them away to young fans in his section.

Dugan explained to MLB.com that kids in his section were "showing other kids where 'the seat' is if they want a foul ball."

The Tigers fan added to ESPN that he always enjoys giving back to kids who come out to the ballpark.

"I love it," he said. "Being a kid myself, dying for a ball at a young age. I guess watching their reaction says it all."
