- Catching a home run ball at a baseball game is a dream for most people, even if you have to risk dropping a beer, nachos, OR YOUR BABY!
- On Tuesday night, 31-year-old Alan Alcantara went viral after he snagged a home run at Citi Field in New York while holding his one-year-old child.
- He precariously reached over the railing to catch the ball as it rebounded off the stadium outfield tarp. The child was in his other hand.
- Alacantara grew up playing baseball in the Dominican Republic and said he caught many balls without a glove.
- He added, "I knew I was not going to have time to put the baby down. So I decided to just hold on tight to him, jump on the rail and see if I could catch the ball. And we did."
