Hungry baby chews up Logan Morrison's ground-rule double (VIDEO)

When little ones are hungry at the ballpark and there's not a nipple to be found, the next best thing might be anything that flies into the stands to chomp on.

On Monday night, his little baby ended up with baseball and turned it into a meal after Logan Morrison sent a ground-rule double bounced into the right-field seats.

The cute infant with the protective headphones got the bouncing ball but, instead of seeing a prized souvenir, he saw dinner.


Not very filling — but it does wonders for the teething though.

Astros fan has fallen trying to catch a foul ball and can't get up (VIDEO)

Carlos Corporan sent a foul popup into the left-field stands of Minute Maid Park during Wednesday's Twins-Astros game. It looked like it might be an easy catch for a fan sitting just off the third-base line. He got set, had both hands ready and waited for his big moment.

Then those pesky seats got in the way.




The worst part? Some dude in a retro Astros jersey snags the souvenir ball while the old guy with the neon shoes lies twisted in the stands.

It's a fan-eats-fan world out there.

Kid perfectly times foul ball bounce off dugout for great catch (VIDEO)

Baseball is all about skill and timing — even when you are just sitting in the stands.

During Sunday night's Rockies-Diamondbacks game, this young fan comes out of nowhere to snag a foul ball that bounced off the first-base dugout roof into the walkway.


The kid's perfectly timed catch was more than worthy of his arm-raising celebration and the cheers of the crowd.

Sign him up.

Young Angels fan makes a great bare-handed grab over upper deck railing (VIDEO)

A young Angels fan decked out in red face paint was seated in the first row of the upper deck at the Angel Stadium on Sunday, when a long foul ball found its way toward his section.


Instead of panicking or bailing on the souvenir, this kid leans over the railing and grabs it with his bare hand for an incredible catch.


Remember kids, don't try this at home.  Only at the ballpark.

Just kidding. Bring your glove.

Fan makes one-handed foul ball catch with son in other arm (VIDEO)

A quick-reacting father made a great one-handed catch on a line-drive foul ball all while holding his son in his other arm.

The fantastic bare-handed grab came during Wednesday night's Cubs-Reds game. 

Afterwards, the humble dad (and former college player) just shrugged and said it was nothing because his glove hand was free.




The kid in the throwing hand was left speechless but mom had a few things to say:

Cubs fan catches foul ball while chatting on cell phone (VIDEO)

This is one Cubs fan who knows how to mix business with pleasure and not even the inconvenience of  a wayward foul ball will keep this mid-westerner from his appointed tasks at either.

While talking to a customer about rain and soybeans on his cell phone, a foul ball came in this guy's direction and it didn't even disrupt the conversation he was having on the phone when he made the one-handed snatch — with a catcher's mitt yet!

He explained later that it was his first foul ball catch ever and his client's owners saw it on TV and called back.  Hope the crop is okay.

Yankee fan makes diving catch over a couple rows of seats

Mariners fans have nothing on Yankees fans when it comes to making memorable catches in the stands.  Catch a ball in your beer and chug it — it happens at any picnic softball game I've ever been to.  But try diving over a couple of rows of seats and still coming up with the ball. That's not just impressive — it's Jeteresque.

That's what this fan in a Yankees jersey did when a ball was lined into the left field seats at Yankee Stadium during a game against the Mariners Thursday night. He leaped through other spectators and over seats and still made the catch.  It was a fist pump well earned.

If it reminded you of Derek Jeter leaping into the stands against the Red Sox, you aren't alone — well ... maybe you are.  But it was still pretty good and he didn't end up with a black eye.
