The top of the second inning on Friday night's showdown between the Twins and Tigers offered up one of the best highlights of the 2023 Major League Baseball season. However, the impressive feat was made by a dad in the stands, not one of the players on the field.
With the game scoreless, Minnesota third baseman Royce Lewis sent the first pitch of the inning offered by Tigers pitcher Joey Wentz high and deep down the left field line several rows over the 342-foot mark.
As Lewis’s fourth home run of the season reached the seats, a man adorned with a straw hat holding a kid in his left arm caught the ball barehanded with his right hand. After making the incredible grab, his wife took the child from his arms so the dad could enjoy the round of applause from the fans.
