MLB: Fan accidentally catches foul ball and goes viral

Do you leave your glove at home? Do you have a fanny pack (bag) in hand? A fanatic who attended today’s game Thursday afternoon between the Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics He did, at least, and it came in handy when a foul ball came off the veteran second baseman’s bat. Josh harrison came up to his section on the second floor

Although he missed the initial grip with his bare hands, he still did so with said fanny pack. The debate over whether the accessory is really back in fashion may be ongoing, but as far as its usefulness is concerned, in this scenario at least, it seems settled. Here the video:

It was the bottom of the first inning, where exactly the first in Bob Melvin’s batting order, Harrison, fouled on the second pitch of Dominican starter Reynaldo López of the White Sox.

The count was at 0-1 and López threw an 86 mph slider and Josh Harrison sent the ball towards the right side where that fan was placed, who was well lost with his gaze according to the 108 seams, which passed between his forearms and went into his pocket that he wore slung over his waist.

The fan even wore a hat, which he would have used to catch the ball, however, it was not necessary and although the paste made balls, he took the souvenir home. If it had not been for that bag, the fan would have suffered a very painful blow where you already imagine.

I am fond of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and in general all of Mexican baseball. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterrupted since 2009), signings of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, albeit as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I carry baseball in my veins. Bachelor of Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I came to El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services in Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and after a few days, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
