Father’s Day isn’t until June 19, but Tuesday was a day this dad likely won’t forget.
Starling Marte’s two-run homer to center bounced off the tarp in center field to give the Mets a 2-0 lead over the Nationals at Citi Field, leading one fan to reach over the guardrail — with a baby in tow — to snag the ball on the bounce.
The barehanded grab caught the eye of the SNY booth.
“So you’re holding your baby and … catch that? … On the fly,” Gary Cohen said on the broadcast replay. “Baby’s fine, all good. This man will go viral.
“They are going to be famous before the night is too much older.”
One Mets fan made a spectacular catch — while holding a child on his arm. SNY“Baby looks really relaxed,” analyst Keith Hernandez said.
“Baby looks like it’s seen Dad do that before,” Cohen retorted.
