Home Run Derby

We just showed you some guy who could catch a baseball without dropping his video camera, but these guys have him beat for fans who can catch a ball.

Let’s go to the world of Cricket, where this Aussie bloke grabs a ball – which is even more impressive when you consider he did it one handed because he was talking on his cell phone.

Barehanding a Home Run at a Softball game is impressive enough … but while holding a baby in your other arm?

I happened to be in attendance for this catch … during a Monday Night Football game in 1995.  Watch as a drunken Chicago Bears fan leaps 20 feet over the tunnel at Soldier Field to grab this Field Goal. 

I remember going apeshiat when that happened.  Saw it through the binoculars.

But the greatest fan catch of all time might be this gentleman in the Wrigley Field bleachers – who didn’t catch a baseball with a glove or bare hand, but with a full beer cup.  And then in celebration, downed the remaining beer …

Bravo.
