An American baseball fan has proven men can indeed multi-task after catching a foul ball all while bottle feeding a baby strapped to his chest.
TV footage of the amazing feat has since gone viral, with social media labelling the dad, Jordan Kingsley, “father of the year”.
The catch happened during Tuesday night’s game between the Cincinnati Reds and San Diego Padres at the Reds’ home ground (The Padres winning 6-1).
During the fifth innings, Padres catcher Luis Campusano popped a foul ball into the seats on the third base where the attentive dad snapped up the impressive catch all with a bottle in his 11-month-year-old son Shepherd’s mouth.
The video has since gone viral and has already been seen over two million times. Check it out below:
