Photographer Jeff Chiu took this amazing photograph of a fan catching a home run with his left hand while holding a baby at Sunday's Giants-Rockies game at AT&T Park. 
Aaron Hernandez Due in Court to Seek Dismissal of Charge The catch came during the third inning. The fan later walked away calmly as people cheered him on, both baby and ball safe in his hands. 
Here's a close up of the moment. Best Father's Day catch ever?

    Why would a home run be holding a baby?

    It was a great catch nonetheless.

    A bad bounce and that could have been baby’s last.

    It was hit by Tulowitzki.
Tull wanted the ball because it was fathers day and he wanted to save a Father’s Day home run ball he hit.
So the guy gave it to him and Tulo gave him an autographed ball.

But still well worth a major league baseball. /

    Why would a home run be holding a baby?And why would they drag Aaron Hernandez into court over this? He's getting blamed for more things than George Bush lately.

    No Mitt, no problem. That was my prediction for the 2012 election.

    She kept her eye on the bat — while using her male companion’s head as a shield.
The quintessential image of modern women.
But since the bat was headed straight for a small child seated behind her...I’ll say kudos!
