Despite the lucky catches, Joe Procaccini, a 33-year-old father of three from Walpole, Massachusetts, didn't keep either baseball he caught during the Red Sox's 10-5 rout of the Los Angeles Angels Sunday.
He told WBZ-TV he gave one to his brother. He handed the other to a child who was standing near him who was attending his first-ever major league game.
Procaccini said he could scarcely believe his luck when Sox left fielder Mike Carp's sixth-inning homer landed in his hands and catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia's dinger did the same in the seventh.
When the first ball headed his way, Procaccini told the Boston Herald that he remembers thinking, "Just make sure to use two hands and not embarrass myself."
When the second ball came his way, he was just plain shocked.
