A baseball fan decided to try to catch a foul ball hit during the game. The only problem? He was holding his baby in one hand, and a glass of beer in another.?
The footage which has gone viral shows a man at an Arizona Diamondbacks?game on Sunday?in Phoenix, trying to perform an ultimate feat of multitasking. Despite having both hands occupied, a foul ball was incoming, and the new father was not going to pass up the chance.?
The agile man reaches into the air and grabs the baseball in his left hand as his baby starts to slip. In a stunning display of multitasking, he catches the baby midfall, and only spills a small portion of the beer.?
Luckily, the baby was unscathed, but in video of the incident, you can see the man jump up to catch the ball in the stands with his baby in his arms.? ?
A Twitter user named Jason Calacanis shared?a video clip of the father in the act of juggling his child and a plastic cup of beer while catching the ball.
¡°Wait, did I just see this guy a) drop his baby, b) catch the ball, C) catch the falling baby, & D) not spill his beer?! Grasshopper! That¡¯s some Jedi/Kung Fu?dad?ish!¡± Calacanis tweeted.
Some people, however, were disturbed by the video citing how dangerous this could have been for a child.??
Others simply suggested that he was a 'Jedi Master'.?

While the man might not be father of the year contender, certainly his commitment and aptitude in juggling can be commended.??
This is not for the first that such a thing has happened at a baseball game. In 2017, a man decided to try to catch a foul ball hit while holding a beer in one hand and also holding a baby in another.
He jumped to catch the ball and as it turn out, the man did, in fact, catch the ball. He then showed it off to the cheering crowd as his wife yelled at him, took the crying baby into her arms, put her head into her hands, and turned away from him.
