Fan Makes Incredible Catch, Does Not Drop Toddler

Men must often negotiate various instinctual drives, even when these forces seem to be in conflict. It's the guys who effortlessly coordinate such things as the need to protect offspring and secure foul balls who represent the best of our breed. That being said, with an unlucky deflection, this decision can look like a clear-cut case of child endangerment.

Check out video of one such incident, after the jump.

Child Endagerment and Beer as the drink?? Good Lord. Everyone knows that beer served at games of anykind are served in clear cup. You wackos who like to make things up just for something to say because you have nothing of any real intelligence to say anyway. You people destroy lives! Leave the man alone. His child was not in danger of any kind.

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who act, and those who duck. These comments seem divided along those lines. I wish I were his agent because I would be talking to Pepsi right now and getting this thing sprayed all over the Internet and TV.

I love it!! Men are amazing! The kid was not in danger - that guy had it all under control and it was as if he swatted a fly away. You see, Men don't normally make a big fuss about stuff like this and this guy is a great example. "no big thang" HA

The ball was nowhere near the child. It was on the opposite side of him. Why can't we just be happy for this guy and not so negative all the time. No one wants to hear your nagativity.

I watched a child get hit with a baseball at a game, poor kid was seriously injured. Glad this guy was good enough to stick his unprotected hand out and catch the ball before it hit someone.

Nice catch! Guys get a bum rap for not being able to multitask as well as women, and here's proof that sometimes we come through. The trajectory of this ball was not such that the kid was endangered at all. Y'all need to get over that. If Dad had dropped the kid to get the ball, we'd have a different conversation. But he didn't.

It is NOT O.K. to reach up and catch a ball that was no where near your child. This was such an extremely dangerous situation that he ALMOST spilled some of his soda. We MUST throw vicious accusations of and assault the fiber of a man's character at every opportunity. You people should be ashamed. Try having an original thought.
