WATCH: Cubs fan goes all out to snag foul ball, makes spectacular catch |
CHICAGO — Laying out for a souvenir, a Chicago Cubs fan had his hard work pay off by catching a foul ball on Saturday. With Cubs newcomer Joc Pederson batting in the second inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the "Bleacher Bum" saw his opportunity to grab a foul ball hit high up into the stands by the outfielder and took it.
Despite taking a tumble over the seats in front of him, the fan, who was wearing a Kris Bryant jersey, was able to hold onto the ball after laying out for it. He was jubilant afterward, celebrating with nearby fans while showing off his newfound prize. Great play in the stands from a Cubs fan! pic.twitter.com/9TNzpSIl3R
