Fan catches Back-To-Back HRs

[sox83cubs84]

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!

There have been occasions on Waveland Avenue where ballhawks have gotten 2 HRs in a game. Of course, freedom of movement is far easier to come by on a mostly empty street than in a filled up seating section. Still, you can't knock it.

It's no comparisson, but I came up with two back-to-back BP home runs before the Cardinals/Padres game yesterday.

Similar things happened to me twice at Wrigley Field...back-to-back Jose Hernandez HRs, and back-to-back Steve Buechele foul balls.

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.

Cool story. Thanks for sharing.

This was in BP or in an actual game?

Both BP inside Wrigley Field, 1990s era.
