As a baseball fanatic, it has always been a dream of mine to catch a ball in the stands. But I fear breaking a finger or getting nailed in the noggin would prevent me from such "heroic" efforts.
Apparently, this Dadmazing father was none too worried about injuries — to himself or his tot. Since his baby boy was straddling his right forearm, the athletic Dodgers fan reached out his gloved left hand and snagged a souvenir and 15 minutes of fame.
If you were the baby's mother, would you be impressed or distressed?

Distressed--baseballs travel at dangerous rates of speed. If it had hit the baby...
1A bit of both. Fortunately, he caught it. Baseballs are dangerous and I know exactly how it feels getting hit by one. I was recently hit by a ball at my son's baseball practice. The ball hit me right by the clavicle and I've never felt such pain and the soreness thereafter is just as bad. Luckily it didn't bruise as bad as I thought it would.
2Distressed! Imagine if it hit that baby's face?! It would cause horrible damage... Yeah I'd be rather mad at my husband for putting our kid in harms way just for a baseball!
3Distressed! I was at a game over the weekend and a guy was holding a baby and caught a ball lobbed to him from a player going into the dugout and almost dropped the tot with that easy of a catch. I'd especially be pissed since my hubby can't catch to save his life LOL!
4I'd be a bit of both as well. Distressed but then impressed.
