Another great moment in preoccupied-fan catches occurred Sunday during the Oakland A's 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels.

A Dan Robertson foul ball ricocheted through the stands at O.co Coliseum in the top of the seventh and ended up in the bare hand of a woman holding a rather indifferent baby.

Even better than the fan's reflexes were her post-catch defense moves.

After handing the child the ball, she noticed his throw-it-back reaction engaging and snatched the ball. No, Johnny, no!

At this point, I'm convinced holding a child somehow grants you weird Spider-Man reflexes. You're at least 50 percent more likely to catch a foul ball if you have a baby in one arm. These are nature's laws.





Dan is on Twitter. Babies are adorable and ungrateful foul-ball magnets.
