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!

Re: Fan catches Back-To-Back HRs
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.

Re: Fan catches Back-To-Back HRs
It's no comparisson, but I came up with two back-to-back BP home runs before the Cardinals/Padres game yesterday.

Re: Fan catches Back-To-Back HRs
I have some memory that a few years ago a fan caught two over-the-fence balls during a game. I remember it because Kruk and the "Baseball Tonight" crew did a spoof of that occurrence, actually discussing the fan's style and positioning with mock seriousness, as if they were doing an outfielder. I think they were HR's but I don't recall well enough any details; they might have been fouls. The guy was standing in an entrance way to a seating area.
A number of years ago two fouls landed in the exact spot where two teen-aged girls were sitting, at a Class A minor-league game. The girls didn't even move; the balls virtually landed in their lap.(They weren't hurt). I was sitting nearby, and I got the impression from overhearing that it may have their first pro baseball game.
