It was the bottom of the ninth inning when Maikel Franco hit his second homer of the night.

A few fans reached for the ball, but a man holding a baby was the one to make the grab.

Fans cheered as he showed off the ball, with the baby still in his arms. Others have been quick to dismiss the catch as one that could have easily endangered the child.
