Is there a more coveted spot at a baseball game than the front row seats? This is where fans go when they want the very best views in the house. It’s also where they have the best chance at catching a stray ball. These are things that a young fan at a recent Yankees game likely knew… but nothing could have prepared him for the reality of sitting in the front row.

At first glance, it may seem like that little boy was close to catching the ball. But if you slow the footage down, you’ll see just how close that ball came to hitting him. In other words, that player’s baseball skills truly came in handy that day!
Now, I think it’s about time we see a kid react to actually getting a baseball. It’s unclear if this kid caught one or if it was given to him. Either way, that reaction is priceless!
