Father’s Night: Dad catches HR while holding baby

Royce Lewis‘ 404-foot solo dwelling run to left area on Friday evening at Comerica Park was spectacular sufficient.

But the Twins rookie managed to get upstaged — by an unlikely contender.

A Tigers fan within the third row behind the left-field wall made a nifty barehanded snag, one made all of the extra spectacular by one easy reality: He was holding a small baby on the identical time. Don’t fear: He didn’t drop both.

With the newborn comfortable in his left arm, the fan snagged Lewis’ leadoff homer along with his proper hand. He held the baseball as much as the group, nodding as if to say, “Yeah, I just did that.”
