Athletics fan snags foul ball without spilling beer (Video)
An Athletics fan made an impressive one-handed grab of a foul ball while somehow managing to not spill his beer.
The Oakland Athletics are likely in for a rough season. However, one of the highlights of their season might have just happened — and it wasn’t even a player who made it.
It was an Oakland fan who made an impressive bare handed grab of a foul ball. Not only that, he managed to make the difficult catch while not spilling his beer in the process. What a fantastic way to honor National Beer Day.
The A’s fan makes an impressive catch. He plays to the crowd a bit but the touching part is when he gives it to a little kid. The adult gets to keep his beer and a boy’s day is made because he gets a foul ball. That’s the kind of story that makes everyone happy because all involved here got precisely what they wanted, even if the Athletics lost 6-1 to the Chicago White Sox.
With the loss to the Chicago White Sox, Oakland finds themselves in an early 1-3 hole in the competitive American League West division. Only the Los Angeles Angels have a worse record than them at 0-2. A’s outfielder Chris Coghlan knocked in the lone run in the bottom of the ninth.
