Phillies fan easily bare-hands this 97 mph foul ball while holding an ice cream
Phillies #Phillies
Now this is just showing off! On Sunday, during the Philadelphia Phillies game against the New York Mets, a fan made the clear best play of the night with a foul ball snag of a lifetime.
Let’s break it down.
At the top of the seventh with the Mets at bat, Michael Conforto fouled a 0-2 pitch off of JoJo Romero into the left field stands. A forgettable play, if not for this Phillies fan that snagged the screaming foul ball bare-handed out of the air… with an ice cream in his other hand!
Talk about a heads up play, especially because, according to the broadcast, that ball had a 97 mph velocity coming off the bat.
What an individual effort, and absolutely one of the best bare-handed four ball catches we’ve seen in some time.
