Celebrating his 100th birthday, Sofka was sitting in the front row on the first base side of the field when Oakland's Billy Burns hit a foul ball in the area.
The ball girl scooped up the slow roller and instantly trotted over to Sofka and handed him a souvenir.

The ball girl's move did not go unnoticed, "Look who has the ball, our hero of the night," exclaimed the television announcer.
"Now that is a great birthday."
