A guy caught back to back homerun balls in Cincinnati tonight.

When Leake and Cozart went back to back, this guy caught them both. They interviewed him on FS Ohio, and he seemed like a really great kid. Brought him up in the booth during the game, and had another interview with him that they played during the postgame. Pretty incredible feat.

I think that catching two in one month would be awesome. Catching two in one game very rare. Catching them back to back probably has never been done in a MLB game. Not that I have any proof of that. But damn.

From the Wikipedia entry for Richie Ashburn:

"During an August 17, 1957 game, Ashburn hit a foul ball into the stands that struck spectator Alice Roth, wife of Philadelphia Bulletin sports editor Earl Roth, breaking her nose. When play resumed, Ashburn fouled off another ball that struck Roth while she was being carried off in a stretcher. Ashburn and Roth would maintain a friendship for many years and her son later served as a Phillies batboy."
