The best play in Wednesday’s Braves game wasn’t made by Ronald Acuna Jr. or Matt Olson … no, a fan in the stands nabbed that honor when he impressively caught a home run ball — while holding a baby!!
The wild scene played out in the second inning of Atlanta’s tilt with Philadelphia at Truist Park … when Phillies star Nick Castellanos smashed a ball 432 feet to dead center field.

As the ball cleared the wall, a Braves fan holding his child in one arm decided to make an attempt at pulling the souvenir in. And, as it turns out, the guy had some great hands … ’cause he caught it — without even remotely bothering his kid!!
Then, he showed off his arm too … chucking the ball back onto the field in support of his hometown team.

The play was so impressive … even the game’s broadcasters had to highlight it while live on-air.
The afternoon at the park, though, didn’t come with the happiest of endings for the Braves fan or his team … the Phils won, 6-5.
But, what a memory nonetheless!
