Re: Fan catches Back-To-Back HRs
As it happened, the fan, 20-year-old Caleb Lloyd, turned out to do a good thing with BOTH baseballs. He gave the first home run back to Leake (it was Leake's first MLB home run) and gave the Cozart homer to his buddy who brought him to the game. No baseballs left, but more notoriety than the vast majority of Joe Fan types get.
Baines3: the ones I know can't even MATCH it, let alone top it.

The odds of this happening must be akin to seeing an unassisted triple play during a No Hitter, no?

Re: Fan catches Back-To-Back HRs
They were saying during the game last night that the odds of catching two hoerun balls in one game were astronomical, but to catch back to back homers was off the charts even further!

Seen this live and was going to post in the Bryce Harper thread, the guy that caught the balls was brought up to the broadcast booth and interviewed he said he would like to "trade" Leake the ball for an autographed ball and photo with him. The thing that really surprised me is that the gentleman was so polite answering all questions with yes sir and no sir.
