What began as a normal afternoon game between the Oakland A’s and the Kansas City Royals turned into a statistical anomaly.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, A’s left fielder Chad Pinder fouled a ball from Royals’ pitcher Scott Barlow back off into the seats ― where an A’s fan identified only as Bill from Pittsburg, California, was ready and waiting.
Everyone around Bill celebrated and cheered as he made the catch –– standard occurrence at a ball game.
