At a recent Astros-Orioles game, a foul ball was sent soaring into the stands, creating a suspenseful and exciting moment for fans in the Camden Yards stands.
Instead of landing in a waiting glove, the ball took an unexpected bounce and found its way through the crowd before coming to a halt inside a fan’s tray of food.
Who needs a glove when you can have a huge tray of ballpark food?
Nonetheless, it was quite a catch…

The fortunate (and skilled) fan leaped to his feet, proudly lifting his plate of food, baseball still nestled among the snacks.
The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, acknowledging the unexpected catch and the fan’s ingenious handling of the situation.
Meanwhile, on the diamond, the Orioles ultimately emerged victorious with a 5-4 win, propelled by a game-changing two-run homer from Ryan Mountcastle in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Despite the dramatic victory, the highlight of the day was undoubtedly the food tray catch.
What a time to be alive!
